"Oh right, you're agoraphobic?" He asked, understanding. I nodded quickly.
"So you've never set foot outside of this penthouse."
"No. Not once since I came here." He sighed and walked to me.
"You have to go out." He said. I shook my head again.
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes! Sorry lady but I need to get down that elevator."
Rachel La Tere is agoraphobic. She had never left her penthouse at the top of the luxury Castle apartments. With a controlling mother for 10 years, she had learnt to not question things such as why her hair was to never be cut short or why she wasn't allowed to have any pictures of herself. When Kyle comes crashing, literally, into her careful and solitude life, would she finally find out the answers to her secrets? Why her biological mother had died and what truly happened to her father after she was 'adopted'. And why everybody seems to be searching for her?
And what happens when Kyle finds out what happens to people when they help break carefully built secrets apart?

Elisabeth Marie
I looked down at the cars on the road and the people way down on the sidewalk. They looked like they were having fun.... I mentally slapped myself. "No," I said aloud. "You like it up here," I told myself, trying to smother the little spark inside of me that I knew wanted to just jump right off the balcony. __________________________________________________________ According to Mother, the only time that I ever left this apartment was when I was born in a hospital a few blocks away. My entire world view is limited to whatever I can see from our 37th story penthouse, which, honestly, isn't much. Mother thought that she controlled every aspect of my life. She was wrong. *formerly titled 'Let Down Your Hair'* ******************** Copyright © 2013 by Holly Ruth || Hollyruth If you see anyone copying this book, please let me know by a private message on wattpad.
