I have loved my best friend for eleven years.
Eleven years of celebrations.
Eleven years of victories and losses.
Eleven years of inside jokes and shared smiles.
Eleven years of helping him raise his daughter as a single father.
He smiles at me and my world brightens.
He ignores me and I forget how to function.
He holds my hand and takes more of my heart.
He leaves and time stops.
We have both lost too much, but am I willing to risk the effects of falling again?

Quotes:
“Falling in love isn’t about losing who you are, it’s about finding the best version of yourself.”
“Falling in love isn’t about losing who you are, it’s about finding the best version of yourself.”
“I didn’t want you to lose anything. I just wanted to give you everything.”
This story is told in Summer's POV and really pulls all the feels out of you. While I found that the beginning of the story dragged a bit it made sense in the end. Mariah Dietz did an amazing job of pulling all the emotions from me. The way she updated us on King and Lo was perfect.
The Weight of Rain (#1) – Released Oct 27, 2015
One night changed my life-one that I barely remember.
When I close my eyes, my mind paints a picture of his smile and shades the contours of his hands, the deep scar around his bicep.
I'm an artist, yet my hands are unsteady. With his presence, he has unknowingly broken that something inside of me that makes me who I am.
Being around him is like standing in a rainstorm. First the drops tickle my skin, and then they coat me, refusing to be ignored. Finally, they soak into me, reaching parts of me I don't think anyone has ever touched.
When dreams turn into reality, will the picture in my mind transfer to paper?
