A Ticket To Anywhere — Kathleen Kelly

A Snowstorm, a Runaway Bride, and Fate's Second Chance.As I sit here in my hotel suite, gazing out the window at the snow-covered Boston streets, I can't help but wonder if fate has a wicked sense of humor. She barged into my life when I least expected it, wearing her insecurities like a cloak of vulnerability. Amelia, the runaway bride with caramel skin and a captivating innocence, left her own wedding in chaos, only to collide with me at the airport. I never imagined our past would resurface after sixteen years.When I heard her laughter and heartbreaking tale, I knew I couldn't let her face the storm alone. My privileged life couldn't prepare me for the whirlwind that followed. We shared a bed, separated by pillows, and weathered the snowstorm that trapped us together.But it wasn't just the weather that stirred emotions; it was the way she looked at me, the way she made me laugh, and the secret she confessed. Amelia has me tied up in knots, unraveling feelings I thought long buried.She believes she's falling in love with me, and I can't deny the fire that burns between us. But how can we move past everything? can I forgive her for running away, or will I run away from the truth of my own heart? The storm may have passed, but the real battle is just beginning.
