Always Mine (Honey Mountain, #1)

by Laura Pavlov

I would be fine. I had to be.

she deserved more than I could give her. She deserved everything.

You aren’t your father. He robbed you of your childhood. Don’t give him your future too. Go be all the things that you want to be.”

I continued breathing and pumping on her chest. I believed I could bring her back. But the tears were blurring my vision and Mom just lay there lifeless. But I pumped harder. Breathed deeper. Hoped harder. I could will her back to life if I just kept trying.

This house was a reminder of those last moments. It was a brutal reality. The best and worst memories of my life lived here.

Tragedy had a way of reminding you how precious life was. Reminding you about what mattered most. About what was most important. Love and family were everything.
