Wayward Son

Zowen has been in love with Aston for as long as he can remember.

She's perfect, except for the fact that she fell in love with his best friend. For years, he loved her from afar. He told himself that as long as Aston was happy, his feelings didn't matter. However, Aston isn't nearly as happy as she seems. And by the time Zowen figures things out, his life takes a turn for the worse.

Now that Aston is single and focused on making up for the lost time, Zowen is doing everything in his power to avoid her. He's convinced that if she never wanted him when he was at his best, there is no chance in hell she could care about him now.

He's the only boy she's willing to wait for. She spent too long pretending to be someone she was not. She watched for years as the one person who made her feel like her true self drifted further and further away.

Finally, when she's ready to reach out and grab the one-of-a-kind love that Zowen Archer has always silently promised her, it's too late. Zowen is taken away, and when he reappears in her life, he makes it clear there's no going back.

Good thing for Zowen that Aston is patient and doesn't mind waiting. It's the least she can do.

Contains mature themes.
