Eight years ago, Cade Jackson went to prison for killing a man—but now he's back. Covered in scars, prison ink, and carrying a reputation that makes most of the town cross the street to avoid him, Cade returns to the only place he has left. Reese spent years reading every letter he sent from prison. Years convincing herself she'd moved on. But the man standing in her grandmother's kitchen isn't the step-uncle she remembers. He's harder. Rougher. Haunted by things he refuses to talk about. Turns out, eight years can change a lot. Now Reese is twenty-two, trapped in a small town, caring for the grandmother who practically raised her, and trying not to drown beneath responsibility. The last thing she needs is Cade walking back into her life carrying old memories, unanswered questions, and a past no one will let him escape. As family loyalties fracture and long-buried truths begin to surface, Reese finds herself drawn toward the one person she should probably be running from. Because loving Cade Jackson was easy when she was fifteen. Loving him now could destroy them both.

Little Bird,
They tell you time stops in a place like this, but it doesn’t. It eats away at your memory until everything looks gray. But not you. You’re the only thing that kept the color in my head. I’m coming home. I’ve done my time, and I’ve earned my way out. I’ll be there soon.
I’m coming for you.
— Uncle Cade

Obsidian: He's hilarious. Like, actually. I loved it. You're writing style is great, although you could do with a few less murmurs and mutters. I know it sounds critical, but I have the same problem and I hate it. Overall, it was one of the best stories I've read on here so far. I liked it better than those M...
