I tried to push him away, but my arms felt heavy.  All I wanted was for him to kiss me, to make love to me, to be the woman he thought I was.  But I wasn’t her…

“You were my mother’s lover,” I gasped out, breaking away again.  “How can you tell me that you loved only me?”

“It was you I felt in that hallway,” I said weakly.  “Wasn’t it?”

“Yes.”  He kissed my face, my lips, and my cheeks.  “Do you see now why I could not live with you as a father?  I had to wait until you were a woman.”
