I used to think that losing Nate to my whore of step-sister was the worst thing that would ever happen to me in my life. I was wrong. I used to think that he would let me go and let Slater and I prosper with our child. I was wrong. I used to think that losing my child was the worst thing that could happen to me, that I would grow from that heartache and I could try again. It wasn't really a surprise to learn that I was wrong there too. I guess we all make sacrifices in life. Gorgeous cover made by @southernTXkindagirl

My name is Calla Lind. For 20 years, I have lived within the shadow of my beautiful older sister - chasing and holding onto an illusion of love. A love that will never belong to me... Now with this second chance of life, I won't chase after illusion. I won't rely on someone else for happiness. I will do what I want, enjoy what I do, and learn to let go. NOTE from the writer: I'm an amateur writer so please overlook plot holes, grammar issues, or anything else a story is supposed to have. This is my original story so... as the saying goes "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all".
