She never had a family until he came along. She never knew her name or background and he showed her it didn't matter. All she needed was hope. She met him at night where he saved her from her foster parents. He thought she was beautiful, he wanted her and would do anything to have her.

It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.
