Later that year, after I’d begged Richard to take me to the county fair for weeks, I went with some friends and saw him there with a woman and two kids. I was devastated.

On the phone the next day, he admitted he was married.

“What are you doing with me if you’re married?” I demanded. It was as if I were thirty years old and had just discovered that the man I had been seeing was married.

Richard didn’t have much to say because there wasn’t anything to say. I saw him a few more times after that, but we never went to the park again. One time, though, he came over to Pat’s house, the girl who lived next door to me, and for some reason the younger Hanson girl was there. We started playing a game where you had to go into the closet and kiss Richard if you lost (probably his idea). The young Hanson girl ended up having to go in the closet with him, and when they came out everything started to click for me. This guy likes young girls, I realized, and he’s moving on to fresh meat.

Richard didn’t really care about me, he was just using me. The thought made me sick to my stomach, just like I’d felt every time Steve molested me. After that day, I never saw him again.
