HARPER
As expected, Dominic found out I went behind his back to the hospital.
Of all places, he wanted me to be. I even got tested, hoping to be a match for my father's potential transplant, and then volunteered to be a donor if I qualified.
He was… livid.
So now, as punishment, he decided to lock me in the house like I was some rebellious teenager refusing to listen to reason about how dangerous the world outside was.
And yet here I was.
The test results were in, and the doctor insisted on giving them to me in person. So, I lied. I told Dominic I was going grocery shopping and wanted to be alone. He refused, insisting Mrs Smith come with me, but I still snuck out.
It wasn't like he'd understand. He wasn't the one desperately trying to earn love from the only family he had left. No matter how many times I tried to explain my reasons, he just wouldn't get it.
