RoryTen years ago, I met her in my best friend's kitchen. One look, one word, and I was done. But my life is not safe for her. It's a life of violence and destruction, so I let her go.Then she appears again - working in my bar, no less. I never stopped loving her, and seeing her again? I realize I want her back. I'm not the selfless kid I once was. I'm selfish, and I take what I want.But she brought her past with her - her daughter and people that want to hurt her. People that have no idea what they were doing when they came into my city after her. Because I'm ruthless, and I will protect her at all costs.LaylaHe sent me away 10 years ago with no way to stay in contact. No way to let him know how much I needed him. So I built up walls and made a ton of bad decisions.But my latest bad decision may get me killed. He wants to be there for me. He wants me back. But I don't know how to let go of a decade of hurt and broken trust. I'm not sure I can let him back in, even if he's the only one I ever wanted.
