Falling Synopsis:
Sometimes it takes someone else to show us what we are truly
capable of becoming.
Suffering from years of violent abuse, Ryan Campbell has learned how to keep people from getting too close. But when you shut yourself off, people get hurt along the way. Never caring much about others, Ryan creates a world in which he doesn’t have to feel.
When Ryan meets Candace Parker, all of his walls slowly begin to crumble. Not sure of the truth of who she is, he feels his mind is playing tricks on him. Unable to force out the thoughts that consume him, Ryan is haunted by visions that torment him every time he looks at her. He finds himself swallowed by guilt and blame, but he’s unwilling to turn his back on the one person that could possibly save him.
You’ve heard Candace’s story in Fading, now hear Ryan’s.

EXCERPT #4
She sniffs and I know
she’s crying. Having her like this, in my arms, is an intimacy that’s
completely foreign but comfortable. I’m sure she can hear my heart pounding,
but I need her to hear it. I need her to feel it as it thuds in my chest
because I need her to hear me falling for her, ‘cause that’s what’s happening
here—I’m falling. I never wanted to before, but with
her, all I want to do is fall. Fall into her. Fall so deep inside of her heart
so that I never have to be without her. That’s what this girl does to me.
That’s how powerful she is even when she thinks she’s at her weakest. She’s
broken. I see it clearly, but whatever it is that’s haunting her, I wanna make
it fade. I wanna make it fade and make her fall too—with me.
When
she begins to pull away from me, I selfishly want to tighten my hold on her and
keep her like this for a little longer. I worry this was just a random need for
comfort from her, that I won’t get this again, that she doesn’t feel what I
know I’m starting to. Fuck, this hurts.
