Chapter 14

I refrain from apologizing for my outburst. He deserves it. He deserves it for treating me like he has any say in what I do or don’t do.

It feels liberating to stand up for myself. Four might not be my father, and he might only be a temporary part of my life, but I spoke up, said something, did something to benefit myself without worrying about the consequences.

I’m not crying because I feel bad. I’m crying because it’s overwhelming to be bold when I’ve never had the confidence to do so. I’m crying because this pilot is being an ass by trying to dictate my decisions, but he’s made me feel safe enough to challenge him on it. He’s made me secure enough to voice my opinion, and that is a powerful feeling that I wasn’t expecting to cry over.

If he wants to stand there and give me the ‘this is me’ speech, then I will stand here and do the same. Yes, I’ve been a coward for most of my life. I’ve been sheltered, coddled and pampered, but I had no say in any of that. So, here I stand, as myself, in Alaska, wrapped in a sheet because I’m wavering on the line of acceptance or rejection from a man I just met. This is who I am, Forsyth Dare. Take me or leave me.

Four is stunned. The usual grin he wears is missing, and in its place is…dumbfounded praise? I think he’s proud of me.

I finally got the chance to tell him how I feel, even though I’ve said most of it before. This time, it was the right atmosphere, opportunity and situation to make him actually listen. I can tell that my point of view never even crossed his mind; he brushed me off as some girl on an adventure she wasn’t prepared for. While that might be true, I’m still a capable girl, and I’m absolutely done being anyone’s puppet. Four was too busy worrying about corrupting me and being too much for me to handle, considering his own selfish morals, for him to even notice how I really felt.

Well, now you know.

I need someone to push me in new directions. I don’t want to lose who I came here as, but I want to learn what other parts of me I haven’t yet found. He’s right to see my life experiences as minimal, but here I am, ready to leap into new ones, and I don’t want him stopping me. I thought he might be the one to help me chase these hurdles, but it’s okay if he genuinely doesn’t want to. I’m not going to guilt someone into having sex with me; I simply thought we were on the same page. If we aren’t, that’s alright. It’ll hurt to let him go, but he will forever remain as a positive memory as I move through life.

Yes, his fantasies really did startle me. But shock is not always negative. Sure, I’d never considered
