Whiskey Kind of Love

Running from her past has become second nature to Carrigan. She has been on the move for four years, running from the ghost that haunts her dreams—a constant reminder to her every day. She settles in South Carolina with the people in her life knowing very little about her. When she feels the need to run again soon, she meets Royce. Royce is fighting his own demons, too. After the death of his sister, he spends every waking moment working on the app that she fought so hard to develop. He found little enjoyment in life until he met Carrigan. When the two meet, will the secrets from their past burden their daily lives and have them on edge, or is there a happy ending in their future? Or was it just meant to be a whiskey kind of love? *** “You can trust me, Carrigan,” Royce whispers against my lips. I inhale sharply, my heart pounding. “I know I can.” Whiskey Kind of Love is created by Nickey Siegerman, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 16: Begrudgingly, My Parents

Royce

I had been worried about Carrigan since the night before. She mentioned something about black roses, and I hadn’t talked to her since. I figured I’d come to visit her after work today. She was doing a double, I knew.

Nico and I had been texting all day about my appointment with Lou. As usual, he was a nosy friend, but I could tell he meant well.

NICO: You know Lou’s right about your parents.

ROYCE: Oh wow, when did I get another therapist?

NICO: Very funny. I’m the original therapist, thanks.

ROYCE: You’re the original FRIEND I made when my world fell apart, Nico. There’s a difference.

NICO: Which is?

ROYCE: I pay Lou.

NICO: You what? Damn, I’m losing my touch. Lou’s getting paid, so what am I, chopped liver?

ROYCE: You couldn’t pay me to have chopped liver anywhere near me. You’re more than a Turkey Club.

NICO: Because?

ROYCE: You’re reliable and dependent.
