Even people who exude light and happiness have dark secrets. Sometimes, the lie becomes so entrenched it becomes the truth.

emotional sad

5.0

Such a good, but sad story. The way the story ended was satisfying and relieving (I was a little worried the author would chose to end differently). Didn’t expect to like this as much as I did.
