Well‚ I have thought about it before. It was the main threat my stepdad‚ Doug used against me whenever I pissed him off. And I pissed him off every day.

“Attended many dances as a teen. I’m shocked I can still remember any of it‚” he smiles. Barba’s face was so close to his and how he wanted to kiss him more than ever.

The day he left‚ I felt lost‚ broken‚ empty. Everything was going to be different. There would be no one to go fishing with on Sunday afternoons‚ no one to help me with my school work—not anymore‚ because he was leaving.
