Thank you

Andi walked me out of her apartment at eleven thirty pm that night.

"Thanks," she said slowly.

"For what?" I asked as wrapping my arms around her.

She smiled "for being you, Ned"

That would have been the first time anyone had ever said that to me. For the first time in my life, I actually felt wanted.

I then kissed her lips gently. "And you're okay too I guess" I smirked as my lips lingered on her's.

"Are you okay not knowing your mum?" Andi asked slowly.

I didn't need to think about my response. I was completely certain that I no longer wanted my mother's approval or affection. It took me far too long to realize that. I wasted far too much time caught up in that fantasy.
