I wanted to drown.
I wanted the world to swallow me up whole and take me back to a time when everything was okay.
A time when I hadn’t just buried the only father I’ve ever known.
One where I’m not watching as my mother loses herself to her grief.
One where the pain isn’t so insufferable.
Everything in my world is a dull muted grey.
I crave colour. Excitement. Recklessness.
And that’s when he walks into my life.
Tall, dark, handsome, and able to drag me from my own head for just a few hours of wild abandon.
He’s the perfect one-night stand.
But is everything as simple as that?
