Love Bomb Paige Randall Singer
It started with a love bomb.
“I think you’re my soulmate,” he told her after their first kiss through a grin
she did not yet see as sinister. They had met just two weeks prior in a psychiatric unit that they were both placed in for suicide attempts, and it was shortly after he was discharged that he hopped on a bus, with a ticket that she had paid for, to live with her a few states away.
Completely on her own for the first time in her life after a nasty fallout
with her family, she latched onto his words and allowed them to fill her being completely. She needed someone to fill the empty holes in her heart, because she did not feel as if she was capable of doing so by herself. There was no belief or trust in herself. Even her own family didn’t want her around, so what worth did she really have?
She felt worthy when she was with him though. He told her everything
she didn’t even know she needed to hear. “I’m going to take care of you.” “I’m so in love with you.” “I can’t wait to marry you one day.” All of her love for herself stemmed from his love for her. She had never felt more beautiful, more loved, or more wanted. It was the two of them against the world, and she believed in the depths of her soul that he would protect her from any danger. However, what would she do when she realized the only danger in her life was him?
