Chapter 7
Thanks JennDur for beta'ing for me.
I tried my best to play happy daughter at dinner. I smiled, laughed and ate, even though all I wanted was to run out the door and never look back.
When we were done, my mom had Seth clear the table while she put the finishing touches on dessert. My dad excused himself quickly after that, claiming he was going to go help my mom. I had to bite my tongue, my father only ever went into the kitchen to get a new beer.
Sam cleared his throat and turned to me, "So, Leah, I was just wondering if you'd like to go out somet-"
"Would you excuse me?" I asked, already standing from the table and running to the bathroom.
