Eve's fear of commitment threatens their relationship from "summary" of Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert

Eve could feel her fear of commitment creeping up on her like a shadow in the night. It threatened to swallow her whole, to consume everything she held dear. She had never been one to stick around for long, always running away when things got too serious. But now, with Jacob by her side, she couldn't afford to let her insecurities get the best of her. Jacob had been patient with her, understanding her hesitations and fears. He had shown her a kind of love she had never experienced before, a love that made her feel safe and wanted. But Eve couldn't shake the feeling that she didn't deserve it, that she would only end up hurting him in the end. As their relationship deepened, Eve found herself pulling away, building walls around her heart to protect herself from the inevitable pain of loss. She knew she had to confront her fear head-on if she wanted to be truly happy with Jacob. But the thought of committing to someone for the long haul terrified her to her core. She struggled to communicate her feelings to Jacob, to let him in on the inner turmoil that was tearing her apart. She knew he deserved better, someone who could give him the love and commitment he so freely offered her. But the thought of losing him was even more unbearable than the thought of facing her fears. Eve knew she had a choice to make: she could continue to let her fear control her, to push Jacob away and sabotage their relationship. Or she could take a leap of faith, trust in Jacob's love, and confront her fear head-on. The decision weighed heavily on her heart, knowing that it could make or break the future she hoped to build with the man she loved.
