All I had now was an empty house to return to. The only place that felt remotely like a home was when I was over at the guys’ house. The guys. Their faces popped into my head. If they were here, Colt and Creed would hold me while giving me words of encouragement, Keelan would say something to make me laugh, and Knox would push my buttons. Thinking of them, I was able to suck air into my lungs.
