But, the minute he looks into Zhay’s eyes he falls in love all over again. The love that Dax and Zhay once shared was honest and sweet, but of late, it proved not enough to cure the hurts of the past, that they need in an effort to move forward.  Both must learn to forgive and love each other again, and that life is to short and precious not to include those whom you hold dear.

They are given a second chance to rediscover their love and what they do with it is completely up to them.

Jonathan Denson isn't what you'd call the life of the party but when he enters a room, he commands attention. The only problem is, the attention he craves isn't the attention he's getting.

Huge shout out to KKMonroe, formerly CPM09, for my title. This story would have been called something I wasn't completely satisfied with if not for her genius. Thank you, lovely lady :)

It's for better...and for worse.

 People say that you’ll love only once in your life but that’s not true. Soul mates do not exist, true love doesn’t exist, I’m not even sure that love exists anymore. All I know is that love has hurt me. It has slapped me in my face, push me down a flight of stairs and worst of all, love has broken my heart.
