His Rejected Mate for Twelve Years- My Final Escape
No one to soothe my back when I'm on edge.
No one to tolerate all my bullshit, unconditionally.
I struggle to my feet and head to the kitchen, looking for something to sober up.
The moment I open the fridge, I freeze.
Taped to the door is a crinkled drawing.
A doodle Leo made when he was five.
Three wolves. One big, one medium, one small.
The big one is majestic and proud. The medium one is gentle and beautiful. The smallest one is hiding behind them.
Underneath, in crooked letters: My Dad, Mom, and Me.
