Mark My Words

She started out as his muse. She became his obsession.Colin was living his life for Lennie and she didn't even know it. All through high school he had a crush on her. They hardly even knew each other. But the words she scrawled in his yearbook senior year, changed the course of his future. "Looking forward to one day reading your romance novel." He'd never wanted to be a romance author. It was a line he'd used to try to impress her in one of the few conversations they'd had. However, years later he finds himself sitting in a coffee shop attempting to write a love story. As if her words were more than wishful thinking. As if they were prophecy. It feels like fate when she steps into the coffee shop one dreary winter morning when he's hunched over his laptop. Determined not to let her go this time, he strikes up a conversation. Over the next couple of months, she becomes more than his muse. She becomes:His life.His future.His everything.And there's no way he's ever letting her go.
