intheheartTitle: You and Me
Rating: PG but for one f-bomb.
Summary: Danny's version of a bedtime story.
Date: 1990
WARNING: implications of child abuse
"They don't love us," Michael said, muffled against her side.
Danny tightened her arm around him, but didn't answer.
He waited a moment, then said, "Because of me."
"No."
Michael always knew when she was lying. The silence stretched until she added, "Maybe. But it's not your fault."
"Yes, it is."
Maybe he was right.
For that maybe, Danny hated her parents more than she'd ever thought possible.
"Well, fuck them," she said. "I love you. Someday we're gonna leave, you and me. I'll take you away. It'll just be us."
"I can't wait," he said, quietly, and snuggled closer.
