The Water is Sweeter

I should have run away from Truman a long, long time ago.

He was the classic trust fund baby. And I’d been all scholarships and secondhand clothes when we’d met.

He’d paid attention to me.

It took me too long to realize his ‘attentions’ disguised his abuse. And then it was too late. I was in too deep.

Until I met Connor.

That day, everything changed.

He gave me the will to live again, to fight again.

But there's a force outside of our newfound love, working against my life on land.

And if I can’t fight it, then I won’t just leave Truman.

I’ll leave Connor too.
