Wrecked Palace

One night was all it took for everything to change.From college student to guardian in a single breath.My siblings became my world.No time for date nights or romantic dreams.I traded quiet weekends for sleepless nights.Giving my all to make sure they were cared for.But Griffin had a brokenness that called to me-one that mirrored my own.Gruff and just a little bit reckless.He was the last thing I needed. But everything I wanted.Only someone isn't happy about this new life I'm building.Deciding to set fire to everything I hold close.And when the smoke clears, there might be only ashes left behind...
