Two More Days: An Anthology

“Two more days….And I felt the countdown start with the next thud of my heart…Finding what’s missing here, starts here.” He tapped her forehead. “I don’t give you two days to desperately act out the life you lost, I give you 363 days of peace to decide.” I don’t need two more days. “I don’t need a minute. I need a lifetime. A lifetime with a man who’ll buy pack after pack of Starbursts to give me my favorite color. An eternity with a man who calls me on the carpet and loves me despite knowing all of me. Not the manufactured me. The real me…I run from everything hard. But this time I’m running to him. Because isn’t that the answer to the question?” “I can give you a lifetime of laughter and love and a history that no one else can understand but us. What if you picked me?...What kind of life do you want to live…One where you’re willing to give up every part of yourself to be something they want, or a life with me where you can simply be yourself and know I loved you back then when you were a rebellious mess and even now when you’re a beautiful one?” “We all have dreams…Some dreams keep us close to home and others take us far away…It’s so easy to take the simple things for granted, but those are the very things that make life worthwhile…Wishing you a lifetime full of sunshine as bright as all the yellow Starbursts in the world.”

The book is too all over the place.
