soon after , shed received a phone call from a private number . and , more important-what would he do to her and the boys if he caught up with them , as she knew he would ? without you , i would have never even met ra . my attitude was : i look the way i look because thats who i really am and i have no intention of pretending to be someone im not . she nodded her head , gave me a quick look , then hopped out of the truck and hurried off .
