Doll
I was standing in my doorway, holding a contract that said I was his, and the man who’d been following me for two weeks was waiting for me to sign it.
I didn’t say anything. I just stood there, the paper cold in my hands, and I thought about the woman in the documentary, the one who’d packed her bag and run.
She’d been smart. She’d been fast.
I was neither.
I was just a girl with a dead father, a failing career, a sister who needed me, and forty‑two thousand dollars I would never have.
I looked at the contract again.
Doll.
And I knew, in that moment, that I was going to sign it.
