Summary
Mike drags his hands down his face in frustration, but he immediately notices something slimy and wet on his face as he does it. He pulls his hands back in disgust immediately, identifying the source as…red. A lot of red.
Mike feels his heart stop for a moment, and he breathes heavily. Blood. What’s blood doing on Mike’s face? He looks down at himself for the first time that night to notice it’s everywhere. It drags down his shirt in a giant sea of red, and it splats on his night pants accusingly.
It’s only now that he notices the coppery tang in his mouth, and his worst fears are confirmed when he spits onto his hand. More red. Red, red, everywhere.
Mike breathes shakily, blinking deliriously. What happened?
🌟 OR 🍃
Mike wakes up one night in the middle of the woods, no idea where he is or why he got there. He just knows there's blood everywhere, and the neighbors cute beagle is dead. -

As an adult Spencer finds out that he's loved more than he could possibly comprehend.

Summary
“These kids won’t tell you what happened.”
Emily pinches her brow. “Why?”
“Child sexual assault victims don’t speak up,” Spencer says, “Not nearly as often as an adult might. So many of these kids don’t have a concept of what’s appropriate, and if they did question it, it’s almost guaranteed to be from someone older, either an older child or an adult they’re told to respect. It wouldn’t get anywhere. If they were teenagers, maybe, but most of these kids are four through ten. We can’t expect them to talk about it. Most of them can’t even conceptualize it.”
It feels like a very quiet whisper in a very quiet room: it was me, it says, but Spencer won’t admit to it.
This is what it takes for a victim to speak up.
