Takeaways
Description
I escaped from prison in a country all the way across the world to come to a place where I could disappear. While I was still healing from my injuries, two guys showed me around their city. I found my work at an orphanage and a free clinic for the poor people living in the slums of Bombay. But, most importantly, there's this girl who caught my eye. She's really smart and really beautiful—the kind of person who can see right through you before you know it. I have no idea what she sees in me, but I'm hoping she doesn't take too long to figure it out.
