Soft As Fluff

"Memories. Intoxicating. Exhilarating. Pure. Fucked up. Memories."

There was only one thing that brought Ryder Park back to his least favourite place in the world-- home.

The same thing that forced him to leave in the first place.

Cassie Jensen.

There was only one thing that had the power to push Cassie Jensen beyond the point of repair.

The same thing that could put her back together one piece at a time.

Ryder Park.

•••

One year after Ryder promised himself he'd never see her again, he finds himself back at her front door.

The same front door he'd punched a hole through, the day he left her. And all he had cared about, in that moment and the many moments that had led him back to that same front door, was the memory of everything they had been.

One year after Cassie promised herself she'd never see him again, she finds herself staring into his soft eyes.

The same eyes she's resented, the day she left him behind. And all she had cared about, in that moment and the many moments that had led her back to the same soft eyes, was the memory of everything they had been.

This is the story of putting things back together. This is the story of regret, pain, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and sometimes, even love.
