CONFLICTED LIES

Detective Braxton Hero should keep his distance from me. Even though I can’t seem to stay away from him.

Letting him get too close is a mistake. One I can’t stop making.

He sees me. The woman I pretend to be, and the one behind the mask. And for the first time, I don’t know which version is real.

Even though I’ve spent my life in the shadows, I’ve never been conflicted about who I am¿until he blurred the lines.

The thought of him seeing my darkness does something to me. He makes me want things.

Things I can’t have.

A life that isn’t mine to take.

A love built on lies
