Savage

Skyler
I never thought I'd lose her. Then, one day, she was gone.
Without my best friend at my side, the world drained of color and the commune I grew up in no longer felt like home. Desperate for clarity, I gave into the wanderlust plaguing my heart and set out on an adventure with one goal in mind: banish the ugly, heavy grief clinging to my soul like beggar's lice. For the first time in my life, I was lost with no direction. And then, HE sat down next to me in a roadside diner and changed everything.

I didn't stand a chance with someone like Skyler Kassamali, but that didn't matter. For one, the hippie witch scared the hell out of me. And two, I would never in a million years be the kind of man who could ever deserve her. But slowly, the things that made us so different began to blur and fade until they didn't matter anymore. Because no matter how convincing my smile seemed, no matter how restrained I tried to be, no matter how I fought to bend and fold to conform-inside, we're all a little savage.
