A Love Too Swift
Chapter 2: Shattered Promises
Eric wasn’t the kind of man to beat around the bush. With confident eyes and a calm demeanor, he pursued Ada with a quiet intensity that felt like a promise. He knew what he wanted—and what he wanted was her.
To Ada, his interest was both flattering and overwhelming. In a world where men often played games, Eric stood out with his directness. He asked thoughtful questions, remembered the smallest details, and made her feel seen. But beneath the attention, there was a pace to it all that made her chest tighten—not just with excitement, but unease.
How could something so new already feel so serious?
Eric had a way of balancing on that edge—strategic, deliberate. He never pushed too hard, never said too much, but always just enough to keep her intrigued, caught in a current she wasn’t sure she wanted to resist.
Ada, still full of hope and urged on by those close to her, leaned into the vision he created, unaware that the script Eric had in mind was far more complicated than she could ever imagine.
This chapter in Ada’s life would later feel like a beautiful trap—a whirlwind romance that left no space for reflection, only momentum. It was love that moved too quickly, too smoothly, blinding her to the shadows ahead.
