Excerpt
As tension fills the air between us, I watch him, still unsure about what to do. After a few more seconds of unbearable silence, I close the distance separating us and stand directly in front of him. Avoiding eye contact he leans forward, setting all four legs of the chair down. It kills me to be standing here like this, unable to touch him. I want him to talk to me. I have to break the silence. So I ask, โDo you know your brotherโs passed out on the couch?โ
โYeah, well he did his best to keep up with me,โ he says, setting his beer bottle down next to at least a dozen others. Cocking his head to the side, he just barely glances at me. โSo where does all this leave us?โ
I answer in complete honestly. โThe same place we were yesterday. I know we both have issues to work out, but Iโm not sure talking about them anymore tonight is a good idea.โ Then I grab his hand and pull him out of the chair. He comes willingly. A bag of ice falls to the ground and I notice his other hand is wrapped in a kitchen towel. I swipe his hair from his forehead and try to look at him, into his eyes, but they are unfocused and the skin around one is slightly discolored. I cup his face and he closes his eyes. I run my fingers around the outline of his swollen bruise. โDoes it hurt?โ
โNah, not anymore,โ he shrugs.
I lift his hand and can see that itโs also swollen and bruised. โGod, River, is it broken?โ
He laughs slightly before saying, โYou know, I have no fucking idea, but it hurts like hell. Xander had me move my fingers and when I did, he told me to suck it up.โ
I carefully caress his hand and bring it to my mouth, softly kissing it. โYou canโt go after Ben every time you see him. Fighting with him isnโt going to change anything.โ
โMight not change anything, but makes me feel a hell of a lot better.โ

About Kim Karr
I live in Florida with my husband and four kids. I’ve always had a love for reading books and writing. Being an English major in college, I wanted to teach at the college level but that was not to be. I went on to receive an MBA and became a project manager until quitting to raise my family. I currently work part-time with my husband and full-time embracing one of my biggest passionsโwriting.
I wear a lot of hats! Writer, book-lover, wife, soccer-mom, taxi driver, and the all around go-to person of the family. However, I always find time to read. One of my favorite family outings use to be taking my kids to the bookstore or the library. Today, my oldest child is in college and my twins are juniors so they no longer go with me on these outings. And although I don’t need to go to the actual store anymore because I have the greatest device ever inventedโa Kindle, I still do. There’s nothing like a paperback. So now my four year old and I make dates out of going to the bookstore–it’s time I love and cherish.
I like to believe in soulmates, kindred spirits, true friends, and Happily-Ever-Afters. I love to drink champagne, listen to music, and hopes to always stay young at heart.
