Escaping My Arranged Marriage With My Biker Student
The sketchpad on my desk catches my eye, and I sit down, flipping to a blank page.
The image comes to me easily: baby Caleb, small and peaceful, his tiny hands curled into fists as he sleeps. I start sketching, the pencil gliding across the paper as I focus on every little detail. It feels good, almost therapeutic, and I know Queenie will love it. She’s been through so much, and if this can bring her even a moment of joy, it’s worth it.
Once I’m finished, I take a moment to admire the drawing. It’s not perfect, but it captures him, his innocence and calm. Folding it carefully, I tuck it into my pocket and head to the living room. When I step inside, the sight stops me in my tracks.
