Winter Blues
By the tender age of twelve, Annette could truly profess that life had been unkind, and somewhat cold towards her. Struck with the tragic loss of her parents she began to struggle tremendously through school. She had no one except the kind strangers that took her in. She gleamed a lot from Doris and Jenny Henderson-Davis. The talks that would help her to navigate through life would be their candid talks about the Winter Blues.
Annette understood well, that some days would just be colder and darker than others. Her perception changed however when she met the love of her life, James. Finally, Annette felt the love of someone real, filling her voids and taking away the sting of loss, he also kept her warm on those lonely cold nights.
Their romance turned into a whirlwind as James asked her to marry him. Annette couldn’t contain her joy, her happiness was short lived, as James mask fell off. He had become someone she didn’t recognize. Were all the things he did to win her over just a facade? The love she thought would last forever, soon became one that felt most temporal.
Again, Annette found herself longing for real love and support to help her through this horrific time in her life. She was once again caught in a cold season, mentally and emotionally.
Harrison Whittington was elected Senator, just before his thirtieth birthday. It had been a dream of his to carry on his father’s quest to make things better for African American people as well as those struggling to survive.
His father, Bryant Whittington’s dream was cut short while out to dinner one evening with his wife and son. Someone killed him, his wife, and left his thirteen-year-old child for dead in a dark alley. That child grew up to be a man with big dreams and even bigger ambition.
The beating Harrison suffered, proved to be no match for his determination to live. Now, he sat in a Senate seat in Washington, D.C., praying to make a difference. The death of his parents still haunted him, causing him to build a wall, for fear of losing anyone who dared to get close to him. An unlikely social media post changed all of that, leading him back to Annette.
There reunion was full magic as sparks began to fly, but of course there was someone waiting in the wings to ruin it for the both of them. James, true colors shined through like a light, after all misery still loved company. Harrison and Annette were just two kids raised in the foster care system and found the love that they both craved in one another. Yet, loving each other openly was going to take a fight. A fight to clear Harrison’s good name, and free Annette from her ties to the stranger she married.
