The Ties That Bind Us: (The Ties Duet Part One) by Danda K. (chromebook ebook reader TXT) 📕

I spot one single photo of Cameron alone and pick it up.

She’s sitting criss-cross on a bed, looking down and smiling, tucking one side of her wild waves behind her ear. It’s a candid shot, probably taken by Camilla because Cameron hates pictures. She’s so beautiful. I can almost feel her porcelain skin through the thin glossy photo and taste her plump bottom lip that always has a hint of Winterfresh gum to it.

She’s mine.

I told her there’s nobody else out there for me. Did she think I was just trying to be romantic?

I fucking meant it.

There’s nobody else I want to share my bed, my heart, my life, or my daughter with. She’s the best thing for both of us, and I’m gonna make sure she knows it. Whatever it takes.

Knowing her, she’s long gone, probably on a bus headed to Tuscaloosa or somewhere off-grid to start over without me, thinking it’s the best thing for both of us. Well, she’s fucking wrong.

If I got home sooner, I could’ve stopped her and changed her mind. It doesn’t matter, though, because I’m gonna find my girl.

And if it takes me my entire life, so fucking be it.

Magnet runs over to me, diving into the photos like a kid jumping into a pile of leaves. Some of them slide further in all different directions, so I start to gather them to avoid any damage. I think I have them all in my hand until I spot one under the glass table by the door.

I bend down to pick it up, and something on it catches my eye. I look closer, having to do a double-take of what’s in front of me. The photo is of a tiny baby, but that’s not the weird part, though. It’s the items the baby has with it.

The sailboat. The grey blanket. The blue bunny.

WHAT. THE. FUCK?

This picture isn’t of just any tiny baby.

This picture is of me.
