Before We Knew Better
Taylor was fresh out of a relationship and desperate for love. Travis was newly suspended for drug use, reckless enough to treat life like a joke, and charming enough to get away with it. The two of them fell into a situationship built on bad decisions and worse timing.
Seven weeks later, she was crying over a positive pregnancy test.
Terrified of becoming the kind of parents they grew up with, they convinced themselves love could be built through commitment. Marriage followed quickly - along with years of cheating, screaming matches, resentment, and two people growing up in opposite directions while desperately trying not to fall apart. Somehow, they stay and by the time they finally learn how to love each other without destroying everything around them. But it's too late.
Their son has already inherited the worst parts of both of them. At fifteen, he's arrogant, impulsive, and developing the same reputation his parents once had.
Then he meets Vianne. And Vianne? She's not any better.
