Sometimes it’s just too dangerous to be who you really are. I know it isn’t safe to want what I want, not while I’m still living at home.
That’s why I keep my head down, my secrets hidden, and my savings tucked away for the day I can finally get out.
But when my mother’s latest boyfriend finds out what I’ve been hiding, there’s no more time to plan. No more pretending I’ll be okay if I just hold on a little longer. And no saving anything.
I have to run… even though I’ve got nowhere to go. The last thing I ever expect is to run into someone who says I can call him Daddy.
