Falling is the easy part, the freedom of the fall, the lightness of it, everything else disappears. It’s the landing that is the hard part, the part were reality hits so hard it sends you toppling over. It’s the realization of what I just did that hits so hard, and I can no longer breathe.

I spin in the darkness. The world has swallowed me whole, and there’s not an end in sight. I tumble fast, with only my thoughts of leaving Jaxson to occupy me, and then I slam hard on to the ground.

Then everything goes black…

 

The End

Acknowledgment

 

There are so many people I owe this book too. First, I need to first thank my wonderful family. Thank you for dealing with my late nights, and keeping my coffee mug filled. You have faith in me even when I doubt myself, I cannot even begin to thank you enough for the endless support.

To Christina and Holly who read the first draft when it was less than finished and loving it with all its messy splendor.

Kimberley at KimG-Design for the book design and capturing the story with such a gorgeous cover.

Thank you to the amazing Sarah Davis Brandon, who took and chance on me and welcomed me into the fabulous publishing family at CHBB.

Thank you to all the readers and bloggers.

Melissa, for your great advice and for working on the first round of edits.

And to Catherine Stovall, for helping DTG become polished for publishing. It was not always pretty, I cried, and cursed you, and laughed, but in the end of this journey I am truly thankful for you. You took this book further than I thought it could go and pushed me as a writer and for that, I am truly thankful.
