This beast of a man who I knew made people disappear - and probably enjoyed every second of it - was also the 16-year-old boy who had picked me up after I'd fallen flat on my face during my dance recital and told me I was the best ballerina he'd ever seen.

For three years I stayed away, ignoring the gnawing ache that her absence left in my chest. Now, she was back and fighting what I felt for her was impossible. Letting her go had been a huge mistake. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne I would never repeat. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brilliance Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47064294424816,"sku":"9781543685145","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781543685145_p0.jpg?v=1763749728","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781543685145","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
