To Die for Truth

My mom taught me to run. To hide. To never stay put. To always be aware.

Time didn't feel finite until I lost her.
I'm alone in the world.
If I run now, I'll be running forever. It's time to stop. Turn around. Take a stand.
Stick to one goal. Seems simple. I didn't bargain on a mellow grease monkey being such a distraction.
Giving in was supposed to be a one-night affair. Yet, somehow, he becomes my roommate, my friend with benefits... my rock.

He offers stability. Security. With him, I don't feel alone anymore.
As I follow the complex mystery across the country and back, the pieces still don't fit the puzzle. Steamy nights and days on the road take me closer to the truth.
Except... Danny doesn't know my secrets. Not all of them. I should confess, but don't know how.
How do I tell him that his life is in danger?

He'll ask why? And the answer...?

Because I'm too selfish to let him go.
