Forget me, Aisha Harris

It was at a college party when I met the man of my dreams.

Gorgeous, too serious for his own good, and a rookie in the wheelchair basketball team, Nick was everything I've ever wanted in a man...

And then he asked me to forget about him.

Before I even knew about Nick, my family was destroying his. While I had a wonderful father figure, he was abandoned by the same man.

Four years later, I pretend he's a stranger when life throws us together once more. We bury the attraction deep so no one notices we have a past.

But the man who raised me died. And now it's up to me to tell his biological son.

Nick can't forgive his father and though he might just hate me because of someone else's mistakes, he won't let me go to the funeral alone.

State after state, We break down our walls. I cry for the man he hates, but he holds me in his arms anyway.

I'm weak, and confused, and I don't know where we stand anymore.

I wanted forgiveness, but I might be hoping for love.
