I was raised to color inside the lines.

To smile sweet, say “yes, ma’am,” and never ask questions I didn’t want answered.

Told me that if he ever touched me, he wouldn’t let me go.

I didn’t believe him.

Now I know better.

Because I’ve been claimed.

And God help anyone who tries to take me from him.
