Love's Baggage Cheryle Thompson

What would be your 'Once Upon A Time' love story? When you fall in love, that emotion carries heavy baggage. Where love resides, it lugs in extra dirty laundry like lust, loneliness, obsession, obstacles, vengeance, vices, envy, emptiness, or maybe just clean laundry disguised as neatly folded happiness. Each type of love totes a different bag of emotions. For Nicholas Jacobson, he tried to bury his past when he met Casey Jones. His love for Casey began with lust, happiness, and many hurdles to overcome the obstacles he encountered along the way. Before love arrived at his door, he was an assassin known only as The Caricature. He left that life behind to become an antique shop owner in Grapevine, Texas. When he received the news of Casey's death, the baggage carried in his heart changed to loneliness, obsession for vengeance, and emptiness like a chameleon changes colors until he heard his inner voice say, "Let my vast ocean waves wash away your pain. Have faith, my gladiator."
