The Gap Between Us (Unabridged‪)‬

It only takes a single encounter....

Norma

I’m just a typical Christian girl with nothing but my family, school, and my relationship with God on my mind. I’m not perfect; trust me when I say I have my faults. But life was good. Nonetheless, one encounter with a guy from the wrong side of town sent my world into a tailspin I had no hope of getting control of on my own. I don’t think there have ever been two people whose lives contradicted the other like ours did. Every rendezvous with Marcel Maxwell brought with it some kind of chaos, but there was something else that also came along for the ride.... God has a way of bringing unexpected gifts to our doors, and I believed Marcel was mine, until....

Marcel

When my younger sister came home one day and told me that I was being watched, I was worried that the cops were all over me. I had managed to avoid getting arrested for so long, and I was determined to keep that record going by any means necessary, even eliminating the threat if I had to, no matter who or what it was. 

Turns out the danger was a pretty Christian girl who had seen something she shouldn’t have. Now imprinted in my mind was the face of an angel, Norma Tesoriere. I knew I should have stayed away. I wasn’t good. There was evil in me. I was a gangster. And yet, the moment Norma’s mesmerizing eyes met mine, my entire world crumbled before me. 

Then Death came knocking at my door. Was loving Norma worth it?
