Hard Ever After: A Hard Ink Novella

*cues up You Are My Sunshine to play softly in the background* With their names finally cleared, the Hard Ink crew is adjusting to being free to live normal lives. They've all found their soul mates, have started their new business, and are looking forward to the future. It's a beautiful thing. This story, while it includes all of our beloved characters, does mainly focus on Nick and Becca, the couple that started it all. After two months of always being within touching distance of each other, Becca is heading back to her nursing job. The time apart is already something they are dreading, yet it's another step towards normalcy. Becca is a little hesitant to return to the scene of her attempted kidnapping, but she knows she needs to conquer those fears in order to move on. She gets a welcome back party from her co-workers, making her feel special, and hits the ground running on her first day back, which is a busy one, ensuring her brain doesn't have time to wander. She also gets the official all clear from the hospital's psychiatrist, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief. Unfortunately, that relief doesn't last long as she starts seeing Tyrell Woodson, her attacker, everywhere and receives a cruel delivery. But Woodson is gone, right?
