Why couldn’t I just have everyday ordinary neuroses like everyone else?
Instead I got saddled with Social Anxiety Disorder. When I go across a room, I get so self-conscious thinking that everyone is staring at me and judging me that I forget how to walk. Any time I'm around people I blush and my hands sweat and I start shaking like I've got hypothermia, and on bad days I get full blown panic attacks. I cope in school--barely--by being that girl that nobody notices. Over the last year I've made myself as invisible as the plastic potted plants they stick in the classrooms.
But at home I become Valkyrie, the mystery girl who plays online shooter games with the boys from our school. She's everything I'm not, everything I'd be if I could. I started playing when I overheard Quinn talking about it one day. Quinn is our quarterback, the gorgeous guy who has fangirls fawning all over him like puppy dogs after every football game. He's also the one who's trying the hardest to find out who I really am, because he wants me to go out with him. You'd think that would be a dream come true, right?
Except he doesn't want me. He wants Valkyrie. And she's not really me at all. Views: 71

Is there anything more beautiful than a radiant bride on her wedding day? It is one of those moments that should be captured forever on film, and photographing weddings has become my specialty. Michaela Dawson Studio stood testament to eight years of hard work, grueling hours, and obsessive attention to detail.
But that was pretty much all I had to show for it. No husband, no children, no happy ever after of my own. My short-lived marriage hadn’t gone the distance, but it had taught me a few things. Like how screwed up my priorities had been. And how crushing guilt and shame can haunt you mercilessly.
Since then I’d worked equally hard on becoming the person I want to be and not the impressionable young woman I had been. And I had a pretty good handle on it…
Until he reappeared in my life. My first love. My first lover. The man against whom I measured all others, including my ex-husband, and found them lacking.
One look, one touch and the connection returned instantaneously, proving just as strong and powerful as it had been the first time around. And the passion flared brighter, as if that was even possible.
But despite my efforts to change, the choices I’d made all those years ago came rushing back, along with the guilt and regret. No matter how much you love someone—or how much they love you—some secrets are too dark to admit and some betrayals too hard to forgive. Views: 71
