“Let me help you,” he says.
“You can’t.” I turn away from Landon. If I keep looking at
him, I’ll give in and destroy both of our lives. I can’t do that. I just need
him gone, out of my life, so I can live my life — alone.
“Just go,” I say still not looking at him. I can feel his
eyes on me; he wants to say more, but he doesn’t move.
I close my eyes tight to keep the tears at bay. How can I
still need to cry after all the tears that have already fallen tonight?
“Please,” I beg.
I hear Landon get up from the bed, but I don’t dare open my
eyes and reveal my pain. I don’t dare look at Landon to see his pain. I just
keep them closed trying not to think about how lonely I’m going to feel a few
minutes from now. I feel his wet lips brush against my cheek.
“Good-bye, Alexa,” he says. I wince at the words. When I
hear the door close, I open my eyes. He’s gone. Just like everyone else I have
ever loved, but I don’t love Landon. I didn’t fall for him yet, so really, I’m
preventing the pain before it starts. This pain is bearable. This pain I will
get over. I let the tears come as I use the crutches Landon leaned against the
bed next to me to find my purse on the counter in the kitchen. I ruffle through
it until I find the little piece of green fabric. The only comfort I will have
tonight. I carry it back to bed with me, taking deep breaths, trying to find
his scent that still lingers on the silk. No matter how long I lie here
breathing in his scent, it doesn’t bring back any new memories. Just the same
painful memories of the accident I’m never going to escape.

What Keeps a Series going in your mind? Did you know
up front before the first book that it would be a series and did you map them
out?
For the Aligned series I knew from book 1 that it
would be a series. I initially tried to map out the series but the characters
quickly decided that the story would take a different turn. I knew what the
cliffhanger was going to be in book 2 while I was writing book 1, but the rest
of the series I just wrote as I went.
So when I went to write my second series called
Maybe Yes I didn’t spend any time mapping out the entire series. I just knew I
wanted to write another series so I made sure to write a big enough story that
needed to be told over several books.
Ella Miles writes sexy
romance with strong females that could kick your butt if you piss them off,
which they often do to the men that fall for them. She's currently living her
own happily ever after near the Rocky Mountains with her high school sweetheart
husband. Her heart is also taken by her goofy two year old black lab that is
scared of everything, including her own shadow. Ella is the author of the
Aligned Series and Maybe Series. Get her free books by visiting her website: EllaMiles.com/freebooks
