Chapter 46

“Wait.”

“For what?” I asked.

“Because you’re you,” Abby said again. “We love each other…all of us, right? Me and Major…you and Major…you and me?”

“Yes.”

“No matter what?”

The Mick I love wouldn’t move on this if any chance existed that could happen. He wouldn’t go after Major at all, unless he was certain he could change from the way he’s always been into the kind of man Major deserves.”

“You don’t know,” I said.

“Don’t know what?” Abby asked.

“That I can’t.”

Childlike laughter rang out from up in front of the stage, where AJ still worked with the kids.
