God why? They say …

Without replying I moved and sat at his side. I knew it was time to hear the whole story. “Theresa? …

LIGHT INTO MY DARK CORNER Episode 7
LIGHT INTO MY DARK CORNER Episode 7 I saw Vanny’s eyes shine with tears as I said these words. I was afraid I had hurt him without knowing, I never meant to. “If darkness is what it takes to be in your life then I would better learn to survive without light. I am not leaving you Theresa” He pulled me to him for a hug before he turned back to head back to his home. I was only a few yards away from home. The day might have been …
