I wasn’t this girl. I was ready to kick his ass to the curb. But tonight, I just wanted to forget all of it. Tomorrow was a new day.

“Presley? That’s your friend who shares your heart with me, right, Daddy? Her name is inked right by my name. We have the same birthday. We’re your two girls?”

“Oh, yeah? What are you going to do once you have her?” “I’m going to fight like hell to keep her this time,” he said. “What if she never really left, and she’s been yours all along?”

And I was completely overcome with emotion. Because I’d never felt happiness the way I did right here, right now. I’d found my forever, and I was never letting go.

My raven had found her way home. And I was going to keep her this time. Forever.
