Chapter 12 - Virginia

I wasn’t one for thinking about knights in shining armor, but it was hard to resist that sort of thinking when Slater was acting like one. Happiness joined me with every step on the dirt road. I felt like I was floating my way toward the school instead of walking, encouraged by the sting of the bite Slater had left on my right shoulder.

Never in my life had I thought I would end up with someone like Slater. I’d always hoped, for sure. I’d always prayed. But for it to actually happen? It felt like I was dreaming. The way he accepted the twins, the way he accepted me, made me feel that much more comfortable about admitting the truth to him.

I bit my lower lip while rubbing my elbow. Crap, that was something that I had to do soon, wasn’t it? If he kept on thinking he was stepdad, that just wasn’t fair. And my kids deserved to know the truth too. One of those ill-begotten memories came out of the woodwork to taunt me.

At the time, Anthony had been four years old. He hadn’t been aware of our situation, or how his grandparents had sold him out with his mama. Adhara was taking one of her many naps that afternoon, during the same time her brother should have been napping with her.

Dirk had come in. Dirk had stomped right across the floor to grab me. Dirk had spat in my face and cast me off like I was yesterday’s newspaper. Dirk, Dirk, dirty Dirk had been so bad to me and to us that it made me shiver in the afternoon sun just to think about it.

My poor boy had witnessed everything. He’d asked if Dirk was his father, questioned whether or not he’d be mean someday, and I fought the urge to cry myself silly. But I’d held it together for him and calmly explained that his papa was a little off his kilter, but generally a good man.

I hope I get to meet him someday, Mama, the memory of Anthony said in my head. I want to know if he looks like me.

Tears pricked my eyes that I swept away quickly. Now wasn’t the time for that crap. It was all in the past. It was all things that didn’t need to be talked about or remembered. We had a good future ahead of us with a man who was committed to our happiness and safety. Nothing would ever stop that from happening, and I would make sure of it.

I just had to bide my time while he got everything together. Feeling sentimental, I pulled out my phone and studied the texts he had sent this morning, the ones swearing that we would be a family together wherever we ended up. He pledged that he would get us an unregistered car with fake plates, hide it at the edge of the Bravecrest property, and then we could take off from there, kicking up the midnight dust.
