About this listen

All I remember is the screeching of brakes and the sound of tires swerving on tarmac. The last thing that crossed my mind was my beautiful boy Billy, waiting alone at the school gates....

When I found out I was pregnant, I couldn’t have been happier. Ever since my own father died, I’d felt utterly lost. But you changed everything. Finally, I had found my purpose: to be the best mother I could be.

But I couldn’t–wouldn’t–tell anyone who your father was. I could never forget the look in his eyes that day. The betrayal written across his face. All the things we didn’t say and the secret that tore us apart.

I thought I was hiding the truth to protect us. But now as I lie in this hospital ward, my life hanging in the balance, blinking in the bright white lights, all I can think about is how that man, your dad, could be your only hope...but how can I save us when it already seems too late? Or will I be just in time to reunite our family?
