Okay, first of all, this is my favorite picture ever because he looks like he just shit himself. Second of all, hi. I hope you are enjoying this book as much as I enjoy writing it! It is always the middle of the night when I write, so sometimes I'm a little loopy and I go crazy.

     The whole "sexual abuse" thing with Ella's mom, isn't really important to the story. It just gives a little background on why Ray is protective over Ella. Ray is protective over Ella, and he always will be, because HELLO I gave you a backstoryyyy, you're welcome. Also, I'm sorry if the backstory triggered you. I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, truly, my apologies to you.

This is completely irrelevant to the story, but I've been feeling sad lately, so I will lay my love on you guys. You are loved. You are noticed. You are special. You are someone.
