Thirteen when I was welcomed into his family. Fourteen when I realized what his unconditional love felt like. Fifteen when he helped me figure out what hope was. And sixteen when my mother's biggest lie changed our lives forever.  I swore I would never be like the woman whose chronic lies impacted everybody around her, but then I'd be a hypocrite. Because three years after the truth came out, and I reunited with the boy whose innocent love had been taken from me, I realized I was living the biggest lie of all. The one where I pretended I wasn't in love with Kyler Bishop.
