He longed for the feeling of the wind on his face, the sound of his Harley roaring in his ears, the smell of the road. But now, all he felt was pain, all he heard was the guy down the hall screaming for help, all he smelled was blood, piss, and the death he was being denied.
RAID
Paralyzed from the hips down after being hit by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan, he was stuck in his hospital bed remembering days gone by when he'd had something worth living for. His club. His brothers. Hadn't heard from those bastards for years now, and he wasn't going to call them just to see the pity on their faces when they realized he'd never ride again. The nurse who tormented him brought him a letter, and everything changed.
ATHENA
She'd never thought he would write her back, she'd just sent a letter to a random soldier in the hospital, not knowing how else to give back, and after six months of being pen pals, she'd developed quite a crush on the guy. On Raid. But then after asking to come visit him in the hospital, he vehemently told her no, and hadn't responded to any more letters. It left her wondering if she'd been catfished, left her wondering if the break from reality his letters had given her, the connection she'd thought they had, was nothing but words on a page.
One letter, and everything changed. Who'd have thought?
