ADAM VAUGH             I can’t remember when I slept so good… In my entire life, my sleep has always been agitated, so many worries, so many responsibilities on me.             Sometimes I close my eyes and it’s so livid in my memory the image of my father’s pale and cold body.             Uncle Quinn, from Garret pack, because he’s such an old family friend, helped me to dress dad, but I made sure to dress him to the funeral.                  My father was a handsome man, dark long hair, with livid brown eyes like Connie’s. I remember I combed his silky hair, so like Kayden’s, and without anyone seeing, I cried hidden. An

SAMANTHA THOMPSON             Kayden finished his conversation with Mr. Quinn and they said good bye to each other, I thought that their conversation was so weird, the way that Mr. Quinn named the Forest.             I don’t recall the entire conversation, but I do recall him saying something about trackers, packs, our people, after all, what people is this? Will it be something related to the Cherokee blood of the boys?             I think about asking Adam about what they were talking and what made them so apprehensive, but if I ask about the conversation I heard, it will seem like I’m prying in their lives.             And they were all so kind in welcoming me in their

SAMANTHA THOMPSON             I wake up shaking and scared by moaning louder and louder.             “No, let me go, be careful… Adam… Watch out.”             I jump out of the bench and Kayden is laying on the floor completely naked, his body twisted, flopping either way. I go to Hunter bedroom and knock apprehensively, Hunter asks me to wait and opens the door still rubbing his eyes.             “Hunter, Kayden is moaning, laying on the floor, how can I say, I don’t know how to say it right, he came back to normal.”             Hunter is quick. 

ADAM VAUGH            It’s been two days that I’ve been watching Samantha from a distance, but when I try to approach her, she runs away without giving me a chance to come closer. I tried following her to the diner kitchen, but John, who owns Mathews, seeing my misery, held my arm and said to me:            “Leave her alone for some time, Adam, give her the time she needs, otherwise it will be worse.”            My mind is turning over with only one thought: “WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO…”, Samantha left the ranch after catching me revealing my feelings to Hunter, and now I’m here, again, standing by Mathews door, with this idiot face of mine, desperately wanting her to come home, our home.         &nbs

ADAM VAUGH             If there’s anything better in this fucking life than to wake up being kissed by the woman you love, I honestly don’t know.             Sam moves around in bed, taking over the space she can and she slides one leg over my thigh, by her eyes I can see she’s still sleeping, but I don’t care, I let myself be wrapped by her sleepy lips, enjoying my little present accompanied by the first beams of light of the morning.             Ah, life’s good!!! I have by my side freeloaders and messy Connie, Hunt and Kay. I live in my land, small, precarious, but I have my home and finally, Mother Nature graced me with this tasty little bunny, with lively blue eyes, frisky, her little girl ways and this mouth that drives me
