My love,
If you’re reading this then something in your heart is telling you that you’re ready to fully let love all the way in.
And thank goodness, because I just know that by the time you read this you’ve been making that poor man wait. But he knows that you need to go at your own pace, and that’s why when he took me home that day from the hospital I knew he was the right partner for you.
Life has been cruel to us, Bella.
I know that the pain of your father abandoning both of us left scars so deep that they’ll never fully heal. I saw the walls you built around your heart, the armor that you began to wear, but let me say this, my love…
Do not let the cold actions of another turn your heart cold.
You are a lover, a romantic, and a fighter.
It would be a cruel waste of a beautiful heart to let the actions of another destroy it.
With that being said, I know it’s easier said than done. I know it’s not easy to trust someone with your heart after such an ordeal, but my love—you are deserving of love.
And not just any love—a great love.
One that will sweep you off your feet. One that is steady, onethat is full of passion and desire, and one that despite bumps in the road will always feel secure.
That is Grayson for you.
He confessed to me that day he took me home from the hospital that he had fallen for you, the day I saw your heart begin to peek through the iron shackles you had tamed it within.
When you’re ready, I know that you will blossom as you give your heart freely to him, and if you’re reading this, then there is a part of you ready and yet terrified all the same.
But Bella, he is not your father.
You met Grayson at a time in your life when you were both going through hell. You both met when life was kicking you until you felt like you couldn’t rise again. You have both proven to each other that you can weather the storms life throws at you.
And once you let go, that man will catch you and treat you right.
Let yourself feel love, Bella. It’s the most precious thing we can experience in life.
Forever and always, my love,
Mom
Chapter 59
Bella
LAYLA
what’s today my beautiful best friend?
BELLA
today is a better day
My heart is beating erratically as the letter shakes in my hand.
He told her that he was in love with me?
But that was months before he told me.
My head lifts to find Grayson patting Bambi, his face locked on the house with his brows furrowed slightly, probably concerned about why I haven’t joined them.
