Until the day I found out what Greg had done.
The Dream I’d Spent Years Building
I wasn’t asking for luxury.
I wasn’t asking for a free ride.
I worked after school.
I earned good grades.
I applied for scholarships.
The college fund was supposed to cover what scholarships couldn’t.
For years, that plan kept me going.
Whenever life became difficult, I reminded myself that a better future was waiting.
Then one afternoon, I overheard Greg talking on the phone.
