Four Score

Paint By Numbers Book 4

Have you ever seen the movie Final Destination?

People cheat death, but in the end, death finds them anyway.

Well, I cheated. I’ve cheated the game of life more times than I can count.

Winners never cheat and cheaters never win. Somebody said that once.

I kissed my big brother’s best friend. Anybody who knows anything knows you should never kiss your brother’s best friend. I kissed him, but I didn’t stop there. Life is never that simple, is it?

One night. One young, stupid night. That night changed everything.

Damien and I made a pact. We became partners in order to raise our child together. A child we never anticipated.

Only then, I went and fell in love with him. I broke the rules. I cheated life again.

He died before I could tell him. My brother killed him.

The doctors brought him back to me. They saved him. They gave us a chance at a life I thought was lost forever. But that still wasn’t enough.

It feels like I’m cursed. The odds are stacked against me.

I have too much to lose this time. Liberation. Freedom. Reconciliation. Love.

Do you believe in redemption?
