No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Life is full of many things.
Love.
Loss.
Heartbreak.
Laughter.
No matter how small, each moment has value.
Then there are the big moments.
The moments that define us.
And the people who shape our very existence.
Abel Collins is that person for me.
From the very first time our eyes locked, I knew there was something about him. That he was the person that would change everything.
And he did.
But Abel isnβt just any manβ¦
His past is his prison.
His guilt keeps him chained.
His grief defines him.
And now itβs up to me to set him free.
To make him see that life isnβt just about what weβve lost but what we still stand to gain.
Because itβs not about what came before, but what comes after.
****WHAT COMES AFTER can be read following TEN HOURS or as a complete STANDALONE.
