Law Maker

November 6th

I’ve never been so embarrassed.

Three days have passed, and I still replay my father’s words: Make sure to wear something more appropriate.

When did being comfortable at home become a crime?

And he said it right in front of Asher. I felt so small I could die.

Each time Dad points out something he thinks I do wrong, it’s like I physically shrink.

I wonder how long it will be before I’m so tiny that people stop noticing me at all.
