Pride

At night, I'm free. 

Free from the restraints growing tighter each day. 

Free from the pressures placed on me. 

Free from the disappointment of never being enough.

At night I dance and the movement sets me free, and I become whoever I want under the bright lights. My disguises offered me safety, providing me escape from the real me-Rapunzel. It started as a way to survive, but the thrill of the dance and the power I weaved soon became my addiction.

My life in shambles, my pride's the only thing keeping me alive, clothed, and moderately fed. Asking for help isn't in my nature, but I soon find a safe haven and place to belong at The Tower. Three men offer me something I desperately needed and I find acceptance in their love. 

When the safety I found in my disguises runs out, I have to face the man who'd made me hide in the first place. Will I be able to find a happily ever after or am I doomed to always be trapped in a prison of my own making? 

The root of all sin is pride, but what if it's the only thing that can save me?
