Five years. You’d expect so much to have changed, right? Wrong. Ride or die. I said those words. Easy words to speak. Hard words to live by. Hard when the man you love, your hero, the man you see through rose-colored glasses, has a father who is a serial killer. Hard when you feel the man you love slowly drift away from you. Life comes to a halt. It becomes all about survival. I’ve done that dance. Survive. Never thrive. I'm okay with that. Nix isn’t. Not at all. He has a plan... moreFive years. You’d expect so much to have changed, right? Wrong. Ride or die. I said those words. Easy words to speak. Hard words to live by. Hard when the man you love, your hero, the man you see through rose-colored glasses, has a father who is a serial killer. Hard when you feel the man you love slowly drift away from you. Life comes to a halt. It becomes all about survival. I’ve done that dance. Survive. Never thrive. I'm okay with that. Nix isn’t. Not at all. He has a plan. A terribly destructive plan that can and does wreak havoc on all of us. He doesn’t know I have a plan too. To prove to him I can handle anything and everything he dishes out. I want to handle it. Because when you love someone, you’re their teammate. You build them up. You accept them. More than anything, you love them. ... And I love him. I just hope it doesn’t kill us.
