Saving Marvel

I love this mismatched family that I’ve joined, would give my life for the club, but something always keeps me slightly apart.

I’ve watched as my brothers have found partners and settled down, seen them have kids and have played a sideline role in their upbringing, but never had any yearning to find someone for myself.

More than thirty years back, I learned women can’t be trusted. It’s a lesson I took to heart.

If I never fall in love again, I can’t be hurt and my world won’t be torn apart.

I was betrayed in the worst of ways by the man I loved. Even now, it’s hard to put what he did into words.

But I don’t need to speak for myself, everyone knows. And everyone blames me. Me, who’d had no idea what was going on.

Traumatised, I try to hide from the world.

But even a reclusive woman has to emerge sometimes. I didn’t expect to get caught up in a major incident, nor to be forced into close proximity with a biker named Marvel.

I didn’t expect we’d have so much in common.

Can two broken souls come together to make a whole?
