Author's Note : Stay tuned! Amber finally follows her heart and decides what is right for her.

P.S. Sorry if I break some of your hearts, but it must be done. Don't worry, I wouldn't count it out for the other guy just yet!

My heart stopped. "Can I cut in?" The voice repeated again. I was frozen in place, I couldn't turn around. I took in the night air in a large breath, thawing my toes.

The powerful pressure pushed my adrenaline into overdrive; a turbulent wave against a grain of sand. I craved for a simple trickle of words to relieve my body from this flood. "That's a lot of wishes." That's all you can say?! What is wrong with you Amber?

It would have been selfish to indulge in him. I knew if I had turned to hold a glaze with him, I'd never want to let go. If he pulled me closer, I would have made a home in his comforting arms. If his chilled breath intermingled with my warmth, we'd create an unstoppable tornado. If I had let my fingers wander to his neck, I would have to kiss every inch of it. If he ran his hand along my face, I'd have to nibble on his fingers of honey. If his supple lips had met mine, an escape would be impossible. It would have been selfish to indulge in him.

I was so damn

    Although I knew that Faris would take the Kirkuk route this time to get Erbil, I just wanted to ask that question to break the early morning silence. Travelling routes between Erbil and Baghdad were few, Baghdad-Kirkuk-Erbil or Baghdad-Mosul-Erbil being the only options. As far as I was concerned, either route was extremely dangerous. Each route had different terrain and peculiarities, yet they shared a similar distance and the fear of hidden and expected attacks. These areas were essentially insurgent territory, which had become notorious for many roadside bombs, drive-by shootings, fake checkpoints and thuggery.…

The tragedy that twisted my once perfect life into a tumbling spiral of pure sorrow that I couldn't grasp. I breathed raggedly peering into the complete blackness of the room. I listened to the constant echoes of the machines that pumped medicine into my fragile body. I felt that I didn't deserve it because of the misfortunes that I caused.…

    I sat appalled, not daring to drop my gaze. His eyes were dark similar to mine when I would become enraged. Deep and hollow, no life in them. After all those years singing to a mirror or my shower head, those harmonic tunes... the owner of the song was just meters in front of me.…

    It was a cold, winter day in Denver, Colorado. The weather was freezing, almost to the point of snowfall, but only just about. Though it was frigid, there was still some rays from the Sun peaking out from the clouds, illuminating a little of what was a dark, gloomy day.
