I ran out of my own wedding in a torn dress and bare feet — three hundred guests waiting, and nowhere on earth to go.
The road ended in a fishing town I'd never heard of. So did I.
I expected to sleep on a stranger's dock. Instead I met him — all grease-stained hands and grief-worn eyes, a single father who growled that I couldn't stay, then carried me home anyway.
I was never meant to belong here. Not to this harbor. Not to his fierce little girl, who decided I was staying before I did. Not to a man who looks at me like I'm something to protect instead of something to own.
But the gilded world I fled has a long reach. And it's coming to collect.
I finally chose a life of my own. The only question left is whether I'm strong enough to keep it.
