<p><strong>We longed. We lost. We loved.&nbsp;<em>Desperately.&nbsp;</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p>I thought I had my life all figured out. But after a college football accident leaves me deaf, I was learning how to live all over again.</p><p><br></p><p>I expected the anger, the frustration, and the struggle to readjust, but what I didn't expect to happen amongst the chaos, was to fall in love.</p><p><br></p><p>Especially not with two men.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Rough-edged puzzle pieces, Rhys, Samuel, and I were nothing but aching memories, painful realities, and hidden scars.</p><p><br></p><p>We were products of our pasts, abandoned and unloved, messy and complicated. Individually we had baggage; together we had mountains to climb.</p><p><br></p><p>But when the three of us were tangled up in one another, spilling secrets in the dark, hearts beating in sync, nothing else mattered but them.</p><p><br></p><p>We needed to break the cycle, because they deserved love... And who knows, maybe I finally did too.</p>
