Chapter 73: Wearing His Shirt

When I emerge from the shower, I suddenly realise I have nothing to wear. I look through Landon's wardrobe and decide to wear one of his shirts - it is just about long enough to pass as a dress.

I make my way down the hall towards the living room. Landon and Ayden sound like they are having a very serious conversation. Ayden is pacing back and forth. I wonder if now is really the right moment for an introduction.

"Ayden," Landon is saying, "he loves you... He's just sick at the moment."

"But he's not my dad?" Ayden looks like a lost child in this moment.

"No," Landon shakes his head, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay..." He smiles suddenly. "It'll be okay, right?"

"I'll always be your brother." Landon is grinning. "Nothing is going to change, I promise." Right then, he notices me coming towards him, and his smile grows. "I have someone I want you to meet."

"The girl from the bar?" Ayden asks as he looks me over.
