Second Go-Round

Christine watched her father grieve over losing his soul mate.

I survived the devastating effects of my parent's ugly divorce due to my childhood leukemia.

Now, both our jaded hearts are closed off to anything outside hookups.

But my emotions get tangled up in our first attempt at sating each other's lust, and I yearn for more than spending my nights as an escort.

I want a second go-round with Christine.

While her walls appear invincible, an act of terror in our city tumbles them down leaving her bruised and broken with no hope of escape.

Will I be strong enough to see her through the darkest time of her life? Or will the rubble of destruction keep me from finding love with the woman I long for?
