I waited patiently in the forest, excitement bubbling within me as I imagined our time together. I couldn't help but hope today would be different for you—no more harsh words or violent outbursts. Each day seemed to deepen your struggles, and it pained me to see you suffer at the hands of your dad's rage and your mom's cruel tongue. I longed to protect you, to whisk you away from it all, but you weren't 18 yet, so you couldn't escape, yet. For now, all I could do was be there for you.
