Title:

Can’t Fight The Tide

Sam says he can’t change it, and I believe him.

I know it deep in my bones.

The moment he looked at me, the moment we met, I knew.

Doesn’t make it any easier.

For him, it’s simple: nothing is stronger than this bond, so he does what he must. He follows the moon like a tide, and I’m the moon, he says.

I think of Leah every single day, and wonder if she’ll ever forgive us, the moon and the tide sweeping her aside.

For me, the price of guilt is as clear as the scars on my face.
