Mavis always assumed that she would be in a hospital with the good drugs when her time came. Not in the middle of the road, with no one around but the damn town mechanic that hated her.
But there she was, having a rock star’s baby, with no one to rely on but the one that let it be known around every turn that she was a horrible person.
From the time that she met Murphy and became best friends with him at the age of eight, she knew he was destined for greatness.
But then her grandmother fired Murphy’s mom, forcing them to live on the streets, and making Murphy to realize that maybe they weren’t best friends after all.
Murphy loved Mavis.
At least, he had when he was younger, before she betrayed him.
From that moment forward, Murphy goes out of his way to stay the hell away from her, and always makes sure to never get too close. Even though everything inside of him screams to make contact.
When he moves back to town after being gone for five years, he tries his best to stay away.
But there she is at his CrossFit gym. Then having a baby on the side of the road. Oh, and breaking him a little more with each step she takes away.
Eventually, they find their way back to each other. The only problem is, by the time that Mavis makes her way back into his heart, it breaks. And not in a rhetorical way. In the ‘he only has days to live’ kind of way.

We absolutely loved Mavis and Murphy's story, albeit a heart-wrenching story. My heart was breaking the entire story. I loved the way Murphy was with Vlad, it was natural and instinctual and Vlad loved his little buddy as his little face lit up every time he saw him. Mavis was a character we absolutely loved we loved her personality, we loved the fierceness she had for those she loved and the way she was with her sister and son and one thought came to me was she is a lioness.
The story had a lot of ups and downs but, we really admired Mavis because she was willing to risk the pain of loving Murphy and cherish whatever time she would have with him for whatever time they may have. Mavis was so strong and loving and throughout the entire story I just wanted to comfort her and hug her, Murphy as well.
What is Vlad's deal with Mavis, that whole situation astounds me.
Overall, just another awesome story in this ongoing series. The story had a cast of amazing characters and more than a few surprises and one that also brought a lot of pain to certain characters, but, there were miracles in the mix as well. I will end with this with a question, when will Mavis's and Fran's grandmother get her comeuppance?
