The Absolution of Aidan

Aidan HughesI was cruel to Deidre La Russo. Said things I should never say to a woman.Seen things happen to her.Things darker than the bottle of liquor I consume.I felt helpless.Defeated.The memories are more tortuous than the act of her torture.Then she walks back into my life, only she's not alone. Deidre La RussoI have my reasons for leaving.I lived through hell.I was beaten, tortured. Drugged.I have secrets.I have to tell them.Danger brought us all together.Danger may rip us apart.
