Once Vince left Boston years ago, he had no immediate plans to return to the city. He had to get away. He had to lay low. After killing a rookie cop in a bar fight, he couldn’t be in the city anymore let alone the state. So, he broke up with his girlfriend of nearly seven years and got out of town. It killed him to do it but he had to. Going to jail wasn’t an option and neither was bringing Aoife down with him. She was the love of his life and while he knew for a fact she’d drop everything to flee with him, he just couldn’t do that to her. He couldn’t make her leave her family and friends to hide from the law for him. She was too good for him and he knew it. She was the only light in his darkness. But nearly ten years later, he finally brought himself back to Boston. While the first thing he wanted to do was have his light back in his life, he knew he had to stay away. He couldn’t drag her back into his bullshit. And for a week he’d managed to keep any signs of him being back from her but that week was over the second he walked into his usual bodega to grab his morning coffee. That was when he spotted her, coming out from one of the aisles. Everything around him came to a screeching halt and he had to keep from pinching himself to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.
