Dear reader:
I really hope that you enjoyed meeting Rush! I enjoyed writing him…
a lot
. I hope that he was all the man you thought he would be, and more.
I realize that at the end there is mention of a child. However, the back story was not included in
this
story. I left it in a way that the reader already knows, that being who he is, Rush
will
go in search of his child and attempt a bond with that child. Nevertheless, if that journey is one that you would like documented, I am more than happy to deliver that to you. You can let me know by contacting me on any of the portals I have provided below.
Before I close this, I would really like to address the scene with Alika and Curtis at the beginning. For any victims of rape, I want you to know that I’ve been there myself. It happened to me, and it deeply affected me because it was someone that I knew and trusted. I closed myself off, but I didn’t shut the world out. I also had people there for me who while they didn’t know what I had gone through were saviors in my life; much like Rush was to Alika.
The way it was addressed in the story, though it may have been covered minimally, I am/was in no way trying to lessen any part of what a woman may have gone through with her own experience. We all handle it differently. What I wanted to do with this story was show Alika coming into her own in spite of what Curtis, a person that she knew and trusted, did to her. I wanted to show her surrender herself to the possibility of real love, and knowing that not every man would enter her life to hurt her.
I want to say, “
Thank you
,” from the bottom of my heart, for your support of me and my work. It is greatly appreciated. There are many authors out there and you took the time to explore me and what I have to offer. That’s a priceless gift. My goal will always be to deliver the best story possible to you. You deserve that!
Thank you!
Much love,
Perri
