Lunch was pizza, wings, Criminal Minds, and pain meds for Carrigan. She napped while lying on my chest for a few hours. Dinner was homemade Shepherd's Pie from Big Ma and more pain meds for Carrigan. She's almost completely asleep on my chest again. Church is in fifteen minutes, and I really want her to sleep through my absence. She's been very clingy today, but I don't mind. Honestly, I've waited too f*****g long to have this woman in my arms, so I'm okay if she stays glued to me for the next fifteen years. I just wish fear wasn't part of why she is so attached.
She hasn't come out and said it, but after getting beat on by a man for the first time in her life and the truths her brother threw at her this morning, she's terrified. I won't admit it to her, but so am I— not of the Cartel
