THE THINGS I NEVER TOLD YOU - d.dixon

FIVE YEARS BEFORE THE WORLD ENDED, Harley Davis became a mother. She tucked her small, sweet little boy closer to her chest, cradling and rocking him gently in all the ways she'd never known but wanted to give to him.

The moment of such unbridled tenderness was hindered by the lingering harbinger of loss. The bittersweet moment was overshadowed by the gnawing fact that this beautiful boy with bright blue eyes and shaggy light hair would endure a life with the absence of a father to give him a proper childhood.

Harley promised herself then, with her child clutched close, that she would do all she could to give her baby the best life she could.

Then, the apocalypse happened.

Well, crap.
