Fighting for Us (Bailey Brothers, #2)

by Claire Kingsley

“Sometimes what we need is a place to fall apart. A place where we know our pieces will be safe while we work on putting them back together.”

The thing about pain, whether it’s physical or not, it demands our attention. A lot of the time that’s as it should be. We move our hand away from a flame to avoid being burned, or we treat an injury so our body can heal. But when that pain doesn’t go away, and it’s not something we can easily fix, it starts to dominate our life. Add in a hefty dose of anger, especially anger at things you can’t change, and it’s easy to forget how to feel anything else.”
