FYI the above character poster is made by a reader!!

The above poster is made by another reader, so please be kind. I have specifically not mentioned how Millie looks like to encourage creativity and focus away from looks (since it's the inside that counts anyways)

7AM

I felt a numbness when I stepped outside this morning. I had been so excited for our trip. I'd even packed the night before. But now, I was carrying more baggage than I ever expected: Emotional baggage that weighed down on me with every step. I regretted not sleeping last night. I get a little cranky.

But seriously, how could I kiss my boyfriend knowing his parents tried to destroy my family's life?

How could I face myself knowing that his parents thought I was scum?

I try to tell myself that Luke is different. He is different. We are different. We are not our parents...
