The drive to the farm wasn’t all that long. Though he knew this was not probably the smartest thing to do, he couldn’t argue with her. He honestly didn’t know why he voluntarily took this child as his responsibility, but he had as it seemed that no one else seemed to care what happened to her, including her family. They were the worst to her he had seen.
Though she didn’t fit in at the university either. Most people ignored her and she was fine with that. She really didn’t try either.
When they got there, even to his untrained eyes, the farm was huge. There were so many cows there in the open-walled barn that she didn’t seem to think anything was different. She went and opened the doors to the large farmhouse, and he followed her in. He saw the wall of photos that had to be her brothers and sisters that were scattered there just hanging up. He didn’t see many of her there. He didn&rsquo

They looked around and saw him. “I do not believe that she needs any company.”The person bolted out of the hallway and then out one of the doors. Maverick could breathe a bit better after realizing that he had saved her from probably some more trauma. Now he really didn’t want her to be alone. This was the final straw.He went over to the door and opened it and saw she was fast asleep, still on the bed. He shut the door behind him and went back to the couch though he thought it was too far away from her room. Whoever that was, knew she was supposed to be there by herself.

The first year of college for the two had ended. When Dawn thought he was going to go home and stay with his parents for the summer, he surprised her when he showed up to live in the small apartment housing that was for the workers on the farm. “Your dad hired me.” He said with a shrug. “I guess I get to learn about cows after all from the smartest person in the world.”“I am not the smartest person in the world.” She said as she helped him unpack his car.“You know the owner's daughter can’t be seen helping the lowest farmhand.” He chuckled.“Sure, I can.” She said, “No one even sees me most of the time.”“Dawn.” He said.“Don’t worry, I am not feeling sorry for myself or anything. Just stating a fact. I am good at being invisible.” She said. “So are we still on for the meetings every other Fri

The night pressed on, and Mav stayed by her side. She was nothing but smiles the entire night. A simple birthday cake seemed more than she had ever had before. She was as bright as the moon itself. Throughout the night, she seemed happier than he had ever seen her.“When you're done with babysitting the princess, you should come to hang out with some of us in the woods.” One of the girls whispered into his ear.“I am not babysitting,” Maverick said. “I am here with my friend.”“Sure.” She said as she looked at him. “I mean, if you really want to be stuck with a kid all night. I just thought you would like to come to hang out.”“Well, I don’t,” Maverick said. He scanned the area and saw her starting to yawn. Knowing that she had hadn’t slept well in the past few days because she had been so excited. “Dawn?” he walked up to her and hel

He thought there might be four or five by the time she was done adding to her interests.Dawn was as normal as she could be when she was around him. She had sensed there was something that he was keeping from her, but she also didn’t want to hear it if it was what she thought it might be. He was nineteen.

After two more grueling years, the day he had not looked forward to for a year was now upon them. He looked at her standing before him. “Four years, and you still look the same.” He laughed. “Maybe if you grew some more, you would be taken a little more seriously.”“Maverick, I stopped growing a year ago,” Dawn said as he teased her. “This is the last one for me.”“How you managed to graduate four times already, including two master's degrees, and I still have only one to my name,” Maverick said with a laugh. “It is okay, though. I don’t mind being the dumb one in this relationship.”“Well, I am a certifiable genius.” She said. “Wait, I meant certified.”“You had it right the first time.” He chuckled. “So, are your parents coming?”“They said they had too.

The phone's call never stopped. The video chats never stopped. There were text messages to start every day for both of them. Though they both had long hours and the time seemed to fly by. He was still working in Europe and had been there for a year and had come back for a year and a half. Though the time they had spent together was minimal during that time, they had still been close. She was working on her medical degree most of the time and her Ph.D. as well at the same time. No one really understood the power of her brain at this point.Though the schools had tested her at nearly every stage of her growth for her teenage years, they couldn’t get an accurate reading on her. They had to say though she was in the top one percent of IQ in the world. She had a brain that they just wanted to study, though, as she got older, she fought them on all the tests. She was over the fact she was different or

Dawn cried when he left as she watched from the airport parking lot. The plane took off, and she felt that hole in her heart again, knowing that he was going to be gone for over a year this time. It hurt in a way that she didn’t know it could.After she pulled herself together, she focused on her work at the hospital. She was doing more to be done with everything quicker. When he was settled in his new place, the calls and texts were the only things she looked forward to.Time seemed to move on at a grueling pace put soon enough, the day she wanted the most was finally upon her. He couldn’t come home, and she understood that. She had a friend’s wife hold up her phone, so he could watch overseas as she took those steps across the stage to finally be a doctor.

Dawn woke and knew that it was odd there was nothing from him. She thought maybe it was just because of the day, but she had thought maybe something could come through. It was her eighteenth birthday, after all. A half a world away, but in her heart, it just didn’t seem right.The day's events were her going to her mother's and listening to how they had changed all the decorations for the party to fit Jenny’s wedding more than her and Christian’s party. Dawn didn’t even know if he was coming at all to the party. He didn’t seem like he cared too much for anything that was being done. Dawn didn’t either. Though she knew the reasons she had thought of that her mother had gone all out for the party, she had hoped maybe it was the last-ditch effort to be nice with her. Dawn knew that was a long shot, and the more the day went on, the more she knew she had no hope of that
