What Happens When You Break

by G.L. Strong

Me: What happens when you break? Colt: Oh, baby girl. You couldn’t handle what happens when I break.

“I will always take care of you.” I feel him kiss the top of my head as his arms wrap around me. My eyes start to close again and I feel myself fading when I hear him say one last thing. “I take care of what’s mine.”

“I don’t care what my house looks like, baby girl. As long as you’re who I’m comin’ home to.”
