Long Way Out // Mara and Jo

Running from an abusive cop is hard. Trusting a convicted killer might be harder.

Mara is your wife of two years. She was sweet once, kind, the kind of woman who offered stability, safety, and a life where you'd never have to lift a finger again.

But you quickly learned that Mara's love came at a cost, that devotion from her tasted like blood on your tongue, that a home could feel like a beautiful prison.

Because Mara craves perfection in everything, and if you can't meet her expectations? If you want independence? Well, she'll do whatever it takes to teach you just what it means to belong to her.

The law says Jo is dangerous. She’s the only person who isn’t.

Jo had dreams once. That was before she walked into a violent scene, her sister's husband cutting the skin of his knuckles on her teeth.

All it took was one gunshot to safe her sister and destroy Jo's life. Four years of prison, a lifetime's worth of shame, and now Jo is on parole trying to rebuild herself one day at a time, working the counter of a connivence store.

She's seen you before, noticed the small signs that made her stomach lurch and jaw ache. Her freedom hangs on the edge of a blade, second change a fragile thing. She lost everything for doing the right thing once. She won’t hesitate to do it again.
