I didn’t think when I left—I just drove. I let the highway do the healing, pound the hurt back down into the crevasses of my mind where it had been for so long now. I let the open space and wind wrap around me and comfort me as I moved over the asphalt below. The vibration from the engine moved through my body. I was on autopilot and the road is what I needed.

It took that open road and me needing an escape to realize that Annistyn was different. She wasn’t like Giselle or any other girl I had spent time with. She didn’t want to be seen with me because it boosted her reputation. She didn’t want me to help her out financially, because she wasn’t one to take handouts from anyone. She didn’t need me, but she wanted me. I knew she did, but I could tell by the look in her eyes that she didn’t trust people easily. I recognized that look because I’d had it in my eyes for a long time, at least until Annistyn showed up.

I’d spent five days away from Annistyn and Los Angeles trying to get my shit together, and to be honest, it was five days too many. It’s odd how someone can come into your life and without you even realizing, they’ve somehow become important, part of your daily routine. I didn’t realize how important Annistyn had become to me until I was away from her.

I made my way through the streets back to the place I called home. Once I showered and got dressed, I went out to my Camaro, as much as I loved my bike, I just spent five days on it… I needed a break. I called Drake and Zayde on my way over to Wilder’s.

By the time I pulled along the curb of Wilder’s house that he shared with Bryar, the rest of the Sons of Sin were there. I got out and made my way over to them. We hugged and slapped each other on the backs. “Sure is good to have you home,” Drake said, as he squeezed my shoulder.

I nod. “It’s good to be back. Thank you for covering my shifts at the bar while I was gone. I just needed to clear my head.”

“We’ve all been there man, but you’re good now?” Wilder asks as he raises his eyebrows in question. I just nod in response.

“You know what my pops used to say, ain’t nothing the open road and a bike can’t heal,” Zayde added. We all smiled at that because that was his life motto and he wasn’t wrong. Zayde’s father was a lot of things, and a good man wasn’t one of them, but that saying was.

The screen door opens and Bryar pops her head out the door. “Y’all want
