Val has something to say to you, my mother informed me. I was sobbing while sitting on the stairway.
I was his only daughter, I was eighteen, and I understood what he was thinking: he believed that having a child would ruin my life.
He finally stopped pacing and told me to leave the house or seek an abortion. I understood at that time that I would be alone myself. I started setting aside money from each paycheck to buy materials and clothing.
