“Well, Mother. I’m not that kind of girl. I would hope you know that.”
Mother’s shoulders fall in resignation. “I do know that. I just want to protect you, Loretta.”
“I know you do,” I tell her and reach out to lay a hand on top of hers. “Trust that you’ve given me the tools, so I will never forget who I am and what matters to me. Can you do that?”
“I’m not sure,” she answers honestly. “I trust you. It’s Mr. Shades I’m worried about.”
I laugh and give her hand a squeeze. “Mother, if I find myself in a situation I can’t handle, you and Daddy will be my first call. Always.”
“Promise?”
“Of course. I know you worry about me.”
She laughs and shakes her head. “God knows best and has a path laid out for you, so I have no choice but to trust in Him. But be safe, and please don’t fall for the tattooed bad boy, Loretta. There are so many good men out there.”
“I’ll do my best, Mother. I promise. And he’s just a friend.”
I don’t want to fall for Shades, but he intrigues me, and I want to explore that intrigue further. I want to explore these unknown feelings I have for him.
I want to experience life without losing myself or my heart.
