I've never regretted anything in my life, but sleeping with someone twelve years younger, deflowering him…What was I thinking?We had too much to drink, and his tattoo had me so mesmerized I just couldn't wait to see it in its entirety. My brain said no, but my traitorous body said, Oh, hell yes! We were adults. The sex was consensual.But that wasn't the worst of it.I ended up pregnant. I'd never been one to grapple with baby fever, but in that moment, I wanted this child. So I decided to flee. I sacrificed my prestigious career as an award-winning photographer, and moved halfway around the world.And it gets even worse.I know what you're thinking. How could my plight become more pathetic?I never told the father. I had good reasons.
