Nodus Tollens Duet

Our lives were like a story, predestined for us by the hands of some writer we didn't know. We were given a beginning and end, and some of us endured a climax like a roller coaster that shook and jerked us around, testing us in the process. In my story, I thought I knew what to expect. That was until a hot-shot hockey player with sweet words and an even kinder soul changed my course. It took everything in me not to fall for him, but unwanted emotions were developing, and warmth I swore I'd never expose myself to began to wreak havoc on my already failing heart.

Ten years ago, I lost the love of my life. In the blink of an eye, he was gone. To this day, I still seem to be picking up the pieces of my broken heart. In losing Hayes, we also lost Mal, the misunderstood hockey player who wished more than anything that he could turn back time and trade places with his best friend. So, in his grief and guilt, he left. Without a goodbye. Without the promise of returning. Now years later, I found myself making the promise to bring him back home. No matter the cost.
