Baughan Logging:: Rhywallon & Darby

This was not how a last minute trip to Alaska was supposed to happen. I wasn't supposed to meet a great guy and fall in love at first sight on the way. My best friend wasn't supposed to sleep with every guy that walked and she certainly wasn't supposed to ditch me in Alaska and run off with one of those guys.

Now I was stuck and Rhys, who had spent months being an attentive, thoughtful friend suddenly ghosted me as well. Well, I was used to it from my best friend, I wasn't taking it from the guy. I wanted answers and I was going to get them. It's not like I didn't know where to find him. And find him I did, the very first night I was back in town I found him . . . and I ignored him because dammit, he ignored me first and I was going to make him suffer.

Too bad I was pretty sure I really was in love with him and it hadn't been just a fluke.



Shit had hit the fan and it was all my fault. I had been going on with my life completely oblivious to the rest of the world and just doing my own thing. I was always respectful to the women in my life, if maybe a little neglectful of their feelings. Not my sisters, their feelings were always important. No, the women I took to bed. If their feelings weren't the same as mine, a one and done and never speak again, then we would merely be acquaintances because I did not want a deeper connection to any woman ever.

Until I met Darby and she broke me. I could no longer be that thoughtless, fun loving, man whore. And when my easy loving ways had gotten my family into trouble I knew I had to take a step back and make some changes. Okay, a lot of changes. So I did and I cut everyone out of my life who wasn't family, included Darby.

Too bad she was the only one who could put me back together and make me whole again. Hopefully I hadn't ruined what we'd had and I could fix what I'd damaged.
