TWO SOULS TRAPPED IN TRAGEDY.
FREEDOM OF CHOICE. THE POWER OF LOVE.
THEY'RE GIVEN ONE LAST CHANCE.
When I met Judah Colt, I knew his presence in my life would change everything.
My gut told me to run before it was too late, and while I did the best I could to keep him at arm's length, our connection became too powerful to deny. Too real to push away.
We fell hard.
Then we crashed and burned to ashes.
And now-after the rug had been torn from beneath me, yet again-I was beginning to think I was made for this. Born to walk this path full of unspeakable pain and unanswered questions, if only to learn the taste of my own strength and witness the tenacity of my soul.
But I never stopped wondering.where was my happy ending?
Where was Judah's?
Did we get one?
My Skyscraper was broken, damaged, sick, but at one point, so was I. And with the help of those around me-with the unconditional love of my chosen family-I'd learned that brokenness was a choice. It wasn't a sealed fate or a final death sentence. Healing was available if I wanted it, and while I held onto that realization with both hands, Judah could never manage to do the same.
Now? It was his only option.
I didn't know what would happen next-had no way of predicting the future-but after months of endless heartbreak, after cleaning up the destruction that came with Judah's addiction, I knew one thing for sure: I'd be damned if I didn't close out this chapter of my life with a settled heart and a smile on my face.
The rest was up to him.
We are Phoenix and Judah.
Baby Bird and her Skyscraper.
This is the conclusion of our story, and it could either be our new beginning.
or our final end.
