J-A Slade

Pitcher's Balk J-A Slade

They met completely by accident. Standing at a bar in an airport waiting for a flight. Bryton completely fell in love with the blonde haired beauty and her sassy attitude but when he met the real Crystal over a month later and realized the sass was a cover for so much he fell even deeper. Bryton wanted nothing more than to take care of Crystal whether she needed it or not. Crystal wanted nothing more than to get away from her controlling father and her sad past. Not only did she want it, she needed it and that chance encounter in an airport bar was the beginning of the end of her father's neglect. Or so she thought. When Crystal disappears and Bryton is told she ghosted him, everything in him tells him it's a lie. But the evidence is pretty damning. He finally gives up but he can't move on and when Crystal comes back Bryton has a hard time believing anything she says. He should have believed in her from the very beginning. So much pain and suffering could have been avoided if he'd just been a better man.
