Becoming a father was the proudest day of my life. Becoming a godfather to my best friends’ child came close. Paul and Emily Clarke have been my closest friends for over twenty years—we were the three musketeers.
When tragedy rips Paul and Emily from our lives, I am left with a shattered family and a promise to hold everything together. But the pieces do not fit the way they used to. The feelings I have for Emily are shifting, deepening into something I cannot ignore.
I have made questionable choices. I have crossed lines I swore I would never touch. And still, I want her. Crave her.
Grief changes everything. The question is whether it can also make something beautiful from the wreckage.
