Chapter 56

My father was gone and my mother was seated in the kitchen feeding Courtney when I returned to my parents?? house.

??Where??s Dad??? I asked her.

??He went to get a haircut.??

??I never should have told you two about Jay and Olivia.??

??No,?? my mother said with a sigh, ??you shouldn??t have. We would have preferred not knowing about this entire situation.??

My cell phone rang and when I saw Olivia??s name pop up, I left the room to take the call.

??Hey,?? I said.

??How??s it going???

??Fine.??

??You still at your parents?? house???

??Yeah. My mother??s feeding Courtney but we??re going to get out of here after that.??

??How??s she doing???

??My mother or Courtney???

She laughed. ??Courtney.??

??Fine. She and my mother are getting along wonderfully.??

??Great. Look, don??t rush to come back here. This place is a mess. Feel free to keep Courtney for another few hours, if that??s okay.??

??That??s fine.??
