Wild and Blue

Jason
I’m no good for her.
It doesn’t matter that she’s the only woman I’ll ever love.
I need her like I need air to breathe.
I won’t come to her, not now.
I thought we would grow old together.
My heart has been hers forever. But, none of that matters now.
When your job is to serve and protect, that’s what you do, especially when your best friend’s last words to you remind you every day what you have to do…what you must sacrifice. No questions asked.
A lifetime of memories is all I have. That will have to be enough.

Cole. Jason and me. Best friends forever.
Until we weren’t.
Jason Cooper. The love of my life.
I was going to grow up and marry him.
I’m all grown up now, but I can’t get him to notice.
I know he wants me, but he’s holding back.
Something is keeping him distant.
“You want to play Cops and Robbers with me?”
I was the wild girl who needed to be tamed, or at least arrested.
Only, I’m not playing anymore.
