THE TIES THAT BIND US

Cameron: 

I had one plan.
And this wasn’t it. 

All I wanted to do was break free of the psychological chain my father wrapped around my soul.
Find my independence.

Until I saw him behind that counter.
Tall, handsome, sarcastic.
A bit odd. 

I wasn’t supposed to feel this way for him.
I wasn’t supposed to feel this way for any man. 

And I can’t start now.
No matter how drawn to him I am.

Jaxon: 

Different day, same routine. Until her.

Until she walked into my store and nearly brought me to my knees.
Her eyes were just as haunted as my past, 

But then she was gone.

Now I want to take every broken piece of her and claim it, cherish it.
Somehow I know she won’t make it easy.

But I don’t give up easy, either.
