Five years ago on the day of his high school graduation, Tyler Rask walked away from his home, dragging with him a shattered heart. Lack of communication destroyed his first relationship, and he’s held onto the pain, believing his ex-boyfriend, Skye Olsen, chose life with a woman over him. His mother’s failing health forces him to revisit his past, and Tyler heads home to say goodbye and maybe find a way to make peace with his choices. The advice Tyler’s mom offers is simple; live the life you want. Settling for something else isn’t really living. When he’s presented with a chance to reconcile his past, Tyler needs to decide if he’s ready to forgive and move forward to a better life.
Excerpt
I needed to see Mama, because I’d never forgive myself if I didn’t say goodbye. I couldn’t live with the regret and guilt hanging over me for the rest of my life. If I held my breath and closed my eyes, maybe I could keep the past from flaring up and scorching me.
For all I knew, Skye was long gone. Just after I’d left home, Mama had tried to relay a couple of messages from Skye, but I told her I had no interest in hearing any of them. She never mentioned him again. We’d never discussed the extent of my relationship with him, but I often wondered if she’d known about us.
“Fuck.”
“Do you have everything?” Joey asked.
“I think so.”
Joey stood and ran his fingers through his hair. I scribbled my flight information and handed it to him.
“If you need anything, you call me. Don’t run away again.”
“Thanks, Joey,” I mumbled. “I gotta go. “
He patted my arm and stepped back. I shouldered my bags, and the second the apartment door closed, a strange, cold feeling swept through me.
“I’m over you,” I grumbled.
Thankfully, it was too early for anyone to be around to witness my ravings. I knew I was crazy, but I didn’t need the outside world to witness my breakdown.
