Love Letters #28
"They Called Me Different" follows a woman who was ashamed of her parents' work as circus sideshow performers and ran away to boarding school, only to later develop feelings for a man named Clark. When Clark becomes interested in her, she struggles with accepting his love because she fears he will eventually learn about her family's past and judge her. After a series of romantic encounters and misunderstandings involving Clark's colleague Rod, the woman finally confesses her secret to Clark in a letter, revealing her deep insecurity about her background. Clark reassures her that her family history does not diminish his love for her, ultimately reconciling their relationship.
