Ring Off, Boss On
He loved me more, cared more, noticed every little thing about me.
One sweltering summer afternoon, he showed up in this ridiculous mascot costume, handing out raffle tickets. I scratched one off and hit the grand prize.
Grinning, I pulled off the giant mascot head. His hair was plastered to his face with sweat, and his startled eyes met mine.
I kissed him right there. That's how it all started.
It wasn't some quiet, secret thing. My family went to war trying to break us apart. We felt like Romeo and Juliet, fighting the world for our love.
