A billionaire was hired to fix me.
To teach me manners, clean up my reputation, and hand me off to a man I've never met…all in three months.
Tonight I climbed on my father's dinner table barefoot, poured wine down my dress, and got carried out of the room in his arms.
He didn't yell at me. He didn't lecture me. He pulled the car over at a hot dog truck on the side of the road and asked if I was hungry.
We sat on a bench at eleven at night, eating hot dogs with mustard while the city moved past us like we didn't exist.
He didn't ask me a single question about what I did.
He just said, "Whatever happened in there, you had a reason."
That's the first time in twelve years someone looked at me and didn't see a disaster.
I'm starting to think the man hired to turn me into someone else might be the only person who's ever seen who I actually am.
