The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Corinne was at a loss for what to do with Joey. On one hand, she did not want to traumatize him further with abandonment issues, but on the other, she did not want to saddle herself with him.

In the end, she decided it was more important to get him to sleep. Thus, she said, “There, there. I’m not going anywhere. Go to sleep, and we can have breakfast together tomorrow morning.”

“O…kay…” said Joey before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
