But it's not okay and she's sick and tired of it being an excuse. She wants to be normal. To be grounded for something that was her own fault, not the fault of some minor Syndrome she has. But to be anew is to move from the small town she has lived in her entire life. So when Lindsay turns 18 she's out for college. And no one... absolutely no one there, in her new world, will know of her little secret.
Until it all leaks out.
