Unhinged (Dance With My Demons, #1)

by Steph Macca

Many people see me as the villain. And to that I say… then I'll be the fucking villain.

I cross my arms, my face going hard. I refuse to talk about my father. Not now, or ever. To anyone. "Right," Dr. Smith says. "How about we reframe the question and circle back? Are you familiar with the term 'favorite person'?" I scan his face wearily, shaking my head. "Like a best friend?" "Kind of. Rather, an attachment of sorts. Someone you hold and value above others, that you feel drawn to, and want to confide in. But at the same time, worry you'll disappoint them. Often there's a fear that the 'favorite person' will leave, triggering abandonment fears."
