I should have known better than to trust my stepdaughter's mom when she told us we could take her for the summer. I should have kept my expectations in check, but holding that sweet hand melted my heart and made me forget that there could be any other lifestyle. Cuddling with my sweet little girl before bed, entranced by the bedtime story, watching as her beautiful lashes fluttered until she finally gave into sleep, I forgot that I had known any other way.
It was two weeks before her mother decided to call her daughter, and as soon as she did we were back to square one. I want nothing more than to protect her from the harm she is subjected to while in her mother's care. I need to know she is safe...
