Riggs Davis has always been a part of my life and my heart.
Both of us from the wrong side of the bridge, our story inevitable.
When I got pregnant at 17 no one batted an eye.
When Riggs went to prison at 21, the neighborhood added him to the list of people never getting out of this town.
When our son died on my watch while Riggs was behind bars, my world fell apart.
Riggs has just been released from prison on good behavior, but things aren't the same. I know he blames me. I can feel it, but that doesn't stop me from loving him. I just hope it's enough to fix this bridge between us.
There are things that threaten to tear us apart. Things I'm not sure we'll be able to walk away from. For someone who's been a part of my life forever, I'm not sure he'll stay there.
