“But I was wrong about the line he wouldn’t cross, wrong about him not wanting to share himself with me. Cruz would always be generous. He would give and give and never hold back where I was concerned.
In fact, later, he would give me too much. He would love me and cherish me, and out of that love would come pain and more. But sitting there by the pool the day my mother abandoned me, I didn’t understand the other side of love. Why would I? I had no experience with that particular emotion.”

It was a kiss to last a year. We melted into each other, desperate to hold on to a part of us, even though we would be so far away. Our tears flowed and mixed together, making the kiss salty and wet.
“Don’t forget any of it,” he said, finally, his voice wracked with emotion.
“I won’t.”

I don’t know why I didn’t notice him before because he was the best looking boy I had ever seen.
Not really a boy. A man. Maybe nineteen, I figured. He had dark hair and eyes but light skin, and he was tall and muscular. He was beautiful, like a model, shining under the lights.
Perfect.
He shook my mother’s hand, and the three of them walked on the tiled floor further into the house without saying a word to me.
Invisible.
There. That’s the moment my life changed. No, I didn’t realize it, yet. I didn’t know that anything special had happened. I certainly didn’t know that Cruz would save my life, and I would save his—at least for a while. That we would love each other and our love would be dangerous.
