Alone No Longer: a short story

Denise listens to her mother's party going on in the next room and, despite the pain in her broken arm, fears her existence won't be forgotten for the rest of the night. When the police end the party prematurely and they take her away, she wonders if she'll ever find a place where she belongs.

This is a prequel to The Ball's in Her Court (now also available on Kindle). Learn more about Denise's past in this short story.
