- me.
Shane, scared I’d lose control and hurt Shelly,
dragged me out of the room.
He took a deep breath, trying to stay calm,
and said, “Shelly shouldn’t have burned your dad’s picture, I’ll talk to her. You always liked
me, right? If you adopt the baby, I might
consider being with you.”
Shane was tall and handsome, well–educated,
and came from a good family. Every girl in
the village had a crush on him.
In the spring, he taught me to read and write,
took me to catch rabbits, and scared away
the bullies.
I fell for him hard, giving him everything.
