I am not alone….

I know that as I continue to run through the woods. My pace has slowed dramatically, though, because it’s clear to me that there are wolves all around me in the darkness, and in front of me, too.

Why am I continuing to run from the man who has already done everything he can to save my life into what could potentially be a death trap?

I can’t help but think that I am the stupidest woman alive….
