Chapter 70

• I can't let him be eaten up by that banshee. It's just not fair to a great man like him.
• That's why I'm here. I mean, I've always had a small crush on my stepfather, but I never thought too much about it because he was with my mom. But now, now that he's free from her, it's not even that I want to act on my attraction to him. I want to make him happy, like he tried so hard to do when he was living with us.
• I don't want him to remember our time together as something that nearly destroyed his life. I can't let that happen: he's too important to me. I'll give him everything of me so that he can walk away from this whole shitty situation without fear or remorse.
