Phoenix

Phoenix stood quietly by the kitchen table, trying to figure out her next move. Telling him about her past wasn’t something that she was ready to do yet. “Why can’t you just tell me who Lydia’s father is?” Riggs asked. That was a question that she didn’t want to answer. How was she supposed to tell him that she had to move in with the bartender from the strip club she worked at because she was down on her luck and living on the streets? Hell, that was probably the only part she could tell him. But he wouldn’t be happy until she told him about the night that she got pregnant with Lydia. It was a night that she’d like to forget, but she couldn’t because it did give Phoenix her daughter.

“Because I’m ashamed,” she admitted. She hadn’t shared much about her past with Riggs. The only thing he knew was that she got pregnant when she was eighteen, and then had Lydia. But so many bad decisions had led to her daughter being born.

“You don’t have to feel that way around me, honey. You can tell me anything—I’m not going anywhere,” he promised. She had a feeling that he might just change his mind once she shared the truth with him.

“So, you did what you had to do to take care of yourself,” he said as though it was no big deal that she took her clothes off while dancing for strangers.

“I did, but you need to hear the rest of the story,” she insisted. “You might change your mind about being with me once I’m finished,” she said.

“Not a chance,” he assured, “but I’m listening.” He sat back in his chair and let her have the floor.

“I ended up getting evicted when the club was raided, and I was out of work for a few weeks. The owner of the club reopened after having to pay some fines, and I was able to go back to work, but it was too late for me to catch up on the rent for my shitty little apartment. The bartender at the club offered to let me crash on his sofa for a month or two until I could get back on my feet, and I took him up on his offer. Living with him was my last option and I didn’t want to ever sleep on the streets again.”

“Understandable,” Riggs said.

“Yeah, but I would have probably been better off on the streets. I had been living
