Alyssa couldn’t lie. Pain swept through her chest when she said those words out loud.

This pain had become a familiar companion. It was a constant presence in her three years of marriage to Jasper, and she often worried it might trigger a heart attack. It struck her more often than the occasions

can’t bring myself to love you anymore. I’m afraid to.”

She was scared of loving anyone else at this point.
