There Is No Devil Sinners Duet Book 2 By Sophie Lark-pdfread

I used to imagine my dad might be thinking about me. Looking for me, even.
I hoped he’d take me to a lovely house in some other state. Maybe he’d let
me have a kitten. I’d go to school where nobody knew me, where no one
knew my mom.
My mother won’t tell me anything about him. She relishes the secret that
only she knows, that I can never discover unless she tells me.
Enough time has passed that I no longer think he’ll come find me.
Still, the bear meant something. He meant my father had loved me once, if
only for a moment.
I don’t even have that anymore.
When I lay down in bed without Buttons, I’m lonelier than I’ve ever been.
I think to myself, there are 1794 days until my eighteenth birthday.
That’s when I can leave. When I can run far, far away from here.
In school, we learned that fish brought up from the deep pressure of the ocean
will explode when they come up into lighter water. They can only stand what
they’re used to.
I’m leaving either way. Whether I swim or burst.
Assuming I can survive 1794 more days.
