Forged by Fire

I destroyed everything. I shattered Karen's heart. I had to sacrifice us to save her. When I forced her out of this small town, the promise of fiery death no longer scared me. Fighting fires helped me forget the black hole burned in my heart. Now Karen's back and she can't even look at me. She hates me. There isn't much time to make her mine again. Can I get her to forgive me? To stay? Or will our love be lost forever?
