Seven years of hatred building because of her silence. But then her father died, leaving her at the hands of the very man who left me alive.

Dear Heart, I can't believe I am even writing this. I wanted a fresh start, to follow a new dream that I had to find after I lost Elijah. Moving to New York was the best thing for me.
