Prologue
He’s driving fast. I love it when he does that, the top is down on the black mustang convertible and the wind accelerated by speed is causing my hair to flail around wildly. I just sit here resting my head against the passenger door staring at him. He knows, I mean he’s totally aware but he just smiles and gasses it more.
He almost looks like he knows where he’s going; I mean honestly he shouldn’t be smiling and… neither should I. Not with what’s going on and what may come. Shit I don’t even know what will come; no one does but still… here we are.
Father said I could end up living a thousand years, that a little time away from him wouldn’t kill me. Doesn’t feel like we have that anymore, time. One day without him is too long, what is a thousand years without him.
He notices my smile is gone, worry takes its place.
“We’ll be there soon, we’re gonna be ok, I promise.” He says as
he reaches over and places his hand on my thigh. A promise he doesn’t know if he can keep, but I don’t care. Wherever this road may end, if it ends… I’m ok with it as long as he is there.
I know we aren’t in your circle, we don’t belong, but please God, don’t take him from me.
