Casey,

We met by chance. I came to Kenton to meet the mother I’d been told was dead. She promised to protect me from my father and fiancé, and that night, I met the family she’d built when she escaped the life we’d both had been born into. I met Turk, Peanut, Shad, and you.

I knew who you were the second I met you. I’d been around men like you all my life. A Killer. Only, where the men in The Collective have TC etched on their skin, you and your friends have a blue rose.

But, I had it all wrong. That blue rose is more than a symbol of death and notoriety. It’s strength. It’s pain. It’s perseverance. It’s love. It’s family.

You all became my family, and you especially became my home. My salvation. My person. We carved something beautiful out of our past trauma, not knowing our past would collide with our present in the worst way, obliterating any chance for a future.

So much has happened. So many secrets exposed. Our entire lives have changed because of one decision. We fell in love, when we were always meant to hate each other. The things that have taken place, we can’t come back from. So, where do we go from here? When I find the answer, I’ll let you know.

Yours always,
