She loved him and she trusted him.

—

Anita was a curious teenage girl when she met Russel Merkel. They both came from broken homes in a small town where secrets are hard to keep. He promised to get her out, but those intentions changed the older they got, and Russell isn't willing to just let go of the one he had been holding onto all these years.

Prompts used:

35. Some things trigger hazy visuals to appear in front of your eyes. Slowly you discover they are glimpses of your past life where you were murdered in cold blood and you get the taste of betrayal every time.

51. The problem with red flags is that I'm attracted to them.

&

15. Three women. Three secrets. Three tangled lives.
Altered: Two women. One man. All caught in a tangle of secrets.

To the ones who let real love live within their chests, sharing it amongst others, because everyone deserves to feel its warmth; everyone deserves to be loved.
