Another Life
By Trisana McGraw
Angel knows Connor imagined a life that was better than the one Angel could give him, with the things he hadn't gotten: a mother holding him close, a father teaching him life's lessons, friends. . . . The list went on.
Now Connor has everything, but he won't know he left another life behind. It's better, Angel reasons, because Connor didn't have to choose between the two worlds. Angel still wants to believe that if Connor had known, he might have stayed with his real father, but Angel knows that's untrue. He doesn't blame Connor; he'd be as eager to leave this hellish place.
