The Good Samaritan

**The biggest story of her life is the one he wants to hide.**

** I’m homeless by choice. **

** I have no intention of returning to my former life after what I’ve done. **

** This—living among the filth and discarded remnants of others—is what I deserve. **

** As atonement for my sins, I give back; I help those who cannot help themselves. But it’s always under the guise of anonymity. **

** Newspaper headlines throughout the city are clamoring to discover my identity. Including the beautiful woman who manages to see through my “armor.” **

** She has the capability to put my entire life at risk. **
