Trusting Fletcher

How can I dream of tomorrow when I can barely get through today?

I learned long ago not to let anyone in. Keep my head down. Do my job. Stay in the shadows. It's easier that way-safer. But everything changes when two words shatter the fragile order of my life: multiple sclerosis.

Suddenly, the walls I've spent years building don't seem so solid anymore. My body is betraying me. Every step is uncertain, every night torture. Even my apartment, my only sanctuary, has turned into a danger zone. And I have nowhere else to go.

That is, until Fletcher Rhide extends a hand.

Fletcher has made a career of fixing things. The last thing I need is for him to fix me. I didn't ask for his help, and I certainly don't want it, but I also don't have a choice.

Fletcher has been a regular at the bar for as long as I've worked there, yet he is nothing like what I expected. His kindness goes beyond offering me a place to stay-he's giving me an open heart and an ear to listen. He's showing me the kind of trust I thought I'd never have again.

Every step closer to him feels like a step closer to an edge, and risking my heart again feels more daunting than all the years I spent on the battlefield. Will Fletcher still love me as things become more difficult, or am I better off fighting this alone?
