"The night is the hardest time to be alive and 4 am knows all my secrets."

It was too easy.
I've always loved playing the game, especially when I'm the only one who knows the rules to win. Her fathers told her, she's trying to ignore it, as am I. But with my father controlling everything, I had no other choice, if I want this to be my business and not my brothers, I have to do this.
