[Tangerine Sky 03] • Beauty Beneath the Sorrow

Lina--

A single event changed how I viewed men and love in the blink of an eye. I’m not someone you’d call “wife material.” I know I’m just a toy to them, someone to be played with and tossed aside the second they’re done.

Tired of living that way, I took matters into my own hands. Taking ownership of who I am and what I want from them, I decided to call the shots. There’s a power in that. One I don’t want to give up.

Until I meet a man who challenges every single insecurity I have. A man who makes me question everything I thought I knew about love and desire.

The problem? He’s not just older. He’s my dad’s best friend.

I loved my career as a Naval fighter pilot, but traveling the world for most of my life left me feeling alone. An ill loved one is the push I need to retire and try my hand at being a commercial pilot. It’s temporary and not something I imagine doing forever. I can’t stay grounded for too long.

It’s not until I see her for the first time that I think love may be possible for me. She takes my breath away. But it’s at that exact moment I realize she’s my best friend’s daughter.
