Chapter 439 Lori's Wonder:>60

• And yet a piece of me knew she was right, I could deny it with all my might, but that wouldn't stop it being true, and I didn't know what to do; everything I was feeling was wrong, it had to be wrong, it could never happen, because it was so wrong, but deep down I didn't believe my denials anymore. Deep down, I'd accepted I was in love with him, not just crushing on him, and I was screwed, because what I was feeling could never be allowed out into the open; no-one was ready to deal with stuff like that, especially not me.
• One thing I knew for certain; Mom could never find out about this, she'd have me committed on the spot, loving parent or not; this wasn't the kind of mother-daughter dialog anyone would relish having.
• So I did what I always did; I battened it down, bottled it up, and tried to act normally around Mom; Mom was a lot like Davey; if she thought there was something she should know, she'd doggedly go after it, and I really didn't want to be interrogated until I cracked and blurted all this stuff out.
