Yield: to surrender or relinquish to the control of another; to give up.
When I walk out this door, it's real.
It's not simply a weekend away at a friend's. I'm quitting the life I built with the man I loved since we were in high school. The man I married at twenty-three. The man I share a wild three-year-old daughter with.
From the outside, our lives are as beautiful as the family portrait that hangs on the living room wall. In reality, it's been ugly for a long time. Colson is my best friend and when it's good, it's so good, but the bad clouds everything I've been holding onto.
Driving four hours out of state to spend one weekend being free from exhaustion before my world becomes a walking avalanche is probably foolish. It is foolish. Ryke is one of those friends that doesn't try to talk about my problems with me. He just listens. I've never gotten too personal with him and I used to like it that way. He was a client until he wasn't-he became the reminder.
I'll do what I have to in order to find my happiness, even if it means everything I know is about to go up in flames with the desperate desire to pull me to hell's core with it.
