Mr. Beautiful

MR. BEAUTIFUL (UP IN THE AIR #4)

JAMES

I’ve been remade four times in my life.  

It is a distinct feeling.  Impossible to mistake.  The very marked sensation of being unraveled and reknit into a new thing, a new person.  It can be good or bad, helpful or harmful, but above all, it is unstoppable.     

I was remade when my parents died, went from a happy childhood, into navigating a very dark world, with endless responsibilities, surrounded by enemies, and despairingly alone.  

It happened again at the hands of a cowardly predator.  I’d become angrier with that one, more cynical, and it undoubtedly turned me into the kinky fuck I was today.  

The third happened swiftly.  One day I looked up into a pair of pale blue eyes and saw the other half of my soul.  Checkmate.  I went from a completely controlled existence, a life where I made every decision with cold calculation, to a man overcome with feelings and emotions that were foreign but somehow wonderful.  

And all too soon after that cataclysmic change was this fourth one, this one where I begged a God I’d never entertained to spare the life of a woman that I could not live without.
