The Hardest Hit
My friends used to tell me ‘What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.’
Clearly they lied, because there was no way the chemistry I had with Mel
could ever be left behind.
However, my children, her career, and
nine hundred miles between us meant that for seven years, Melanie
Holstein was the one who got away.
I was Aiden Shaw, first-round
draft pick turned the best quarterback the league had ever seen. I
worked hard to secure my position in football history while balancing
life as a single dad. Through it all, my Vegas spitfire was never far
from my mind.
And considering her best friend was now with my best friend, it was pure and utter torture.
When
my career took a devastating turn, Mel was the first person at my side.
I was broken and defeated, but that stubborn woman was determined to
piece me back together.
I liked to pretend Mel and I were
destined for greatness, but Lady Luck had never been on our side. And
the tragedy that followed might have been the hardest hit of all.
