“Unraveling the Threads of Destiny: What Happens When the Past Repeats It’s Darkest Secrets in Hayley Notter’s ‘Again’?”
Robert didn’t know about the two years I spent letting my college ex-boyfriend show up at my door with heavy drunk knocks and half-completed sentences, spreading my legs for him at night and then stalking his new girlfriend’s Facebook during the day, memorizing every detail of her face, this sweet-looking brunette who knew nothing about me, or what I was doing to her. This crime I was justifying like a child. That it was all okay because I’d loved him first.
Robert didn’t know about the mornings I woke up naked and sore and alone, waiting for my punishment to emerge. He didn’t know that I forced myself to lay there in silence until I could conjure her up. Not the unsuspecting brunette, but Sandra—the woman who had sex with my father.
