His Dark Love

Previously

…I picked up my phone, my fingers hovering over Diego’s contact. My heart hammered against my ribs. This was a risk. A monumental risk. But as I looked out the window, at the ordinary world going on around me, I knew I couldn’t stay hidden in the shadows any longer. I had to face the truth, both his and mine. With a deep breath, I pressed call. The ringing echoed in the silence, each pulse a question, a plea. Would he answer? Or would he simply let it ring, another casualty of the silence between us? Only time, and his darkness, would tell.
