The Glass Heart

 Fate has a twisted sense of humor when it comes to matters of the heart, only I'm not laughing.

A folded flag is the only reminder of a love that once defined my existence. My heart? It's been mercilessly torn in two, leaving me stumbling through life. With the unwavering love and support of my family, I've found the strength to slowly piece together a life worth living.

Emotions I thought I'd never feel again battle their way to the surface, giving me the chance at a love story I never saw coming. One that defies the boundaries of my heart's mourning and slowly breathes life into my battered soul.

But now, lurking in the shadows, a shocking secret threatens to unravel the very existence I've fought to rebuild. I find myself teetering on the precipice of an impossible choice.

And the agonizing truth is this... no matter which path I choose—someone's heart will shatter.
