Colton Dashner was an enigma - charming yet dangerous, with a wild and brooding nature. When I stepped into his life, I had no idea the depth of the emotional storm I'd encounter. I was convinced that his love was out of reach, almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy of destruction. Despite the warnings and my own naivety, I chose to ignore them, my stubbornness clouding my judgment. Looking back, I long for that initial encounter, wishing I could turn back time and make a different choice. But alas, time marches on, and so does my shattered heart.
