Dear Emmie Blue LGBTQIA+ but I didn’t bank on

but I didn’t bank on her returning

Then she hits him with her car—supposedly by accident

claiming me for another night only to leave again

with no allies of my own

But some things are easier said than done

Dear Emmie Blue LGBTQIA+ but I didn’t bank onAt sixteen, Emmie Blue stood in the fields of her school and released a red balloon into the sky. Attached was her name, her email address and a secret she desperately wanted to be free of. Weeks later, on a beach in France, Lucas Moreau discovered the balloon and immediately emailed the attached address, sparking an intense friendship between the two teens. Now, fourteen years later, Emmie is hiding the fact that shes desperately in love with Lucas.
