Whiskey Burning

Summary

In the darkness is where I first met him, alone at a water fountain, tears rolling down my cheeks, ready to give up. From the shadows, his voice came to me, soothing, comforting, rough as the blackest night. I didn’t see him. I don’t even know his name. All I know is he saved me that night. He put my back on my feet. And he’s kept me on them. Every time I’ve needed him, he’s found a way to come to me, my stranger of the night, my dark warrior. My name is Scarlett. You probably know me. I’m America’s number-one country-music star. I’m also the loneliest girl you’ll ever meet. He’s as free as a bird, a nomad travelling alone with nobody to hold him back. He holds the freedom I pray for every single day. He shows me that life can be so much more than what I’m living. When danger comes knocking, he shows me a different world, a world I never knew existed, a world that both terrifies and fascinates me, a world that goes against everything I’ve ever known - a world of Iron Fury.
