Abuse: the Complete Trilogy
““We are asleep until we fall in love!”
― Leo Tolstoy ~~~ Renata Koreman “After Timmy died, I was an only child,” I say, placing the first cooked pancakes on a plate.
“I’m so sorry about what happened to your little brother.”
I sigh, then put more butter on the griddle, coating it evenly over the pan. “My brother, Timmy was a wonderful baby brother, the absolute light of my life. My mother was depressed and often in bed. My father was a ticking time bomb when he drank, which was most of the time.... My mother and I were constantly on edge, watching and waiting for anything that might trigger his violence.”
He turns to me after setting the silverware on the table. “So no confusions or uncertainties about your dad when you were a child?”
“None,” I say, pouring four more circles of pancake batter onto the pan. “I knew he was dangerous. I knew I had to stay away from him.”
Grant’s compelling gaze meets mine as he swears a soft oath. “When I think of what he put you through, I could kill your father,”MoreLess
