“Can I see some more photographs of Daddy, please? I miss him,” Harry asked with a smile.
Even though our son had never met Harry, I did my best to make sure he still knew who he was and what he stood for. As heartbreaking as it was, whenever my son said he missed his father, I knew I was giving Harry the respect he deserved. I had thousands of pictures of Harry through the years, mostly gifted to me by Yvonne from Harry’s old room. It became a little ritual of ours, and we would go through Harry’s childhood pictures and compare him to my son.
Even though it was a family of two, I loved my little family. I was hesitant to say it was incomplete because it never felt that way, but we both missed Harry immensely. I would keep him alive in his son’s eyes with the stories of Harry’s youth and the thousands of old photographs.
“Sure, but I’m not getting the albums out. Only on my phone, okay?” I bargained.
Harry clapped his hands together as I got my phone out. I hadn’t noticed because it was on silent mode, but I had a text from an unknown number, along with about twenty missed calls from Poppy and Yvonne.
I’m coming for what’s mine.
MORE FROM THE AUTHOR
Would you risk your family, your marriage, and your life to earn some extra money?
Sean and his family are already struggling financially when he loses out on a much needed promotion. He is recommended a dubious app to earn extra money on the side, and keeps it from his wife. But it has secrets of its own...
Desperate to get fit and keep his family's heads above water, he starts running using the app. In the midst of their failing marriage, Sean finds a connection to a mystifying runner, who tests his commitment to his family.
A mysterious group of men begin to threaten his life, and he is left with a seemingly simple choice; fight, or flight. Sean continues to run using the app, but loses parts of himself on the trail. He tests not only his stamina, but his morality, and his loyalty to his wife.
Believe the hype. This relentlessly fast paced psychological thriller will have you racing to the end as you follow Sean's journey in finding the identities of the men behind the masks, and to the shocking twist at the end.
