River Wild

A new town. A new identity. Pregnant and alone. And far away from a past that can never find me. River Wild. Moody. Sullen. A-hole. And my new neighbor. I have no interest in befriending River. And he definitely doesnt want to be befriended by me. Then, he helps me rescue an abandoned dog. And, that day, I see something in his eyes that reflects back in my own. Sadness. Pain. Loneliness. I know all of those things well. An unwanted and unexpected friendship that somehow works. Then, without warning, it turns into something more. River and I both have our secrets, and thats okay. Because I understand him. And he understands me. For the first time in my life, I have something I never thought I would havehappiness. But happiness isnt forever. Not for people like me. Especially not when my past is waiting just around the corner, ready to come and take it all away. "A new town. A new identity. Pregnant and alone. And far away from a past that can never find me.
