Cuffed Love

Previously written for an Anthology. Released from Anthology 7/21/2023 and has been rewritten and expanded.

Othella-

Why did I come home?

Oh, right.

My never-ending need to seek my Mother’s love and approval.

Surprise, surprise — she barely knows I’m alive.

Then again, if it wasn’t for her neglect, I wouldn’t have met the local sheriff, Noah Vincent.

God, he’s annoying and pushy. He should just…go away!

Noah-

I’ve never believed in love at first sight.

Until I met her.

Othella Enderson is prickly and all I want to do is get stung by her.

When Othella’s family makes it clear, they want her out of town,

I have no choice but to grant their wish.

Well, in my own way, that is.
