LORETTA

One thing I came to learn about Elion was that he liked to have control.

No. He loved it.

He liked being the one with the upper hand, the one pulling the strings while everyone else danced to his tune, the one who made the rules and people followed. In the time I have spent with him, I learned that much.

I also learned how to push back.

Tonight however, I had no idea where I stood with him to fight this strong urge gripping me tight as he stands at the edge of my bathroom, telling me to take my bath while making absolutely no move to leave....
