Hidden Affection
His touch was quiet and reassuring, as though he was telling me without words that I was safe that, for once, I didn't have to hold myself together.
"Hush, dear. Everything will be alright in time. Just don’t let hatred take root in your heart. The more you hold on to anger and resentment, the deeper you’ll bury yourself in the sadness and pain of the past." his statement hit me hard. Like a slap straight to my face, waking me up from my horrifying nightmare.
