Fifteen when he helped me figure out what hope was. And sixteen when my mother’s biggest lie changed our lives forever.

Because three years after the truth came out, and I reunited with the boy whose innocent love had been taken from me, I realized I was living the biggest lie of all.

He could possibly cheat again. That's three strikes.
