He says I’m still his good girl, but he doesn’t know what I’ve done.

Will he feel the same way when he finds out?

I will come home to her though, because no matter how much ocean separates us, that tiny dancer, the good girl, is now mine.

I’m not sure what’s worse: the internal war raging inside my head, or the one I’m about to enter in order to get her back…
