Spawn’s Suffering by Trent Jordan

I thought she hated my guts. I was right–and yet she’s still returned.
Long ago, Melissa Cook and I were together. It ended dramatically.
I wasn’t ready for her.
She wasn’t ready for me.
We parted not just on bad terms, but irreconcilable ones. I had no reason to believe she would ever want me again.
And yet…
For some reason, she’s come back.
And when I see her, I don’t recall the hate, the contempt, or the disgust.
I recall the passionate flames of love.
I recall the feeling of her being the one.
I recall the certainty we’d figure it all out.
And now, with a second chance, maybe we will.
