INTRODUCTION
"WE WERE SUPPOSED TO START OVER! NOT GET INVOLVED IN THE SAME s**t THAT PUT DAD IN PRISON!"
"I MADE YOU A GOD DAMN PROMISE, ARYA, AND I'M DOING WHAT I HAVE TO f*****g DO TO KEEP IT!"
alternatively !
arya and henry masen are finally out from underneath their abusive uncle's (who they were sent to live with after their father is thrown in prison) thumb and living on their own when henry gets caught up in some bad business and his "boss" comes breaking in, inadvertently dragging arya into a dangerous whirlwind of crimes and dodgy situations, and putting her in the path of love, heartache and potentially her own demise. With Zak in her life, it almost makes her childhood seem tame, but goddammit if she can't bring herself to kick him out of it for good and go back to her original plan. Much too like her father, stubborn and hard headed, but leading with her heart, she welcomes in quite more than she bargained for, and even more than she can bare to part with, even when her own life is on the line, the only thought in her mind is him, (because god isn't it always him?).
