Cadence of the Storm

<p class=ql-align-center><strong><em>Two worlds. One storm.</em></strong></p><p class=ql-align-center><strong><em>Can we survive the chaos-or will it consume us both?</em></strong></p><p class=ql-align-center></p><p class=ql-align-center><strong><em>Ryan</em></strong></p><p><em>My goals were simple even if my life wasn't. My world was black and white and straight lines. </em></p><p><em>That is until Risha Verma crashed into it. With her radiance creative expression and that burning chemistry she enveloped me to my core. </em></p><p><em>She gives me closure I didn't know I needed. She makes me a better man; I didn't realize I wanted to be. And she opens my eyes to a world I didn't know I yearned for. </em></p><p></p><p class=ql-align-center><strong><em>Risha</em></strong></p><p><em>My life was a struggle between control peace and independence. I was trapped between the weight of expectations and dreams of an elusive future. Breaking free would brand me rebellious while every mistake would carve my present. I live in two worlds: one I can't escape and one I can never fully claim. </em></p><p><em>That is until I cross paths with a devastatingly gorgeous Ryan McAlister. We have nothing in common-our goals our lives our futures couldn't be further apart-yet he awakens a storm I've fought so hard to silence. Beneath all the differences we are alike. And he stirs a storm in me I never saw coming. </em></p><p><em>I let myself get swept into it-playing along surrendering to its rhythm pretending the moment could last forever. And then everything unravels and I realize I was never meant to belong to this storm.</em></p>
