Chapter 12

“He’s no longer your boyfriend, right?”

“I made that quite clear to him when I basically kicked him out of the house.”

Dr. Lewis rambles for the next six or seven minutes, diagnosing the situation. He says something about Kasey having narcissistic tendencies and ego issues. Honestly, I’m not really sure what he means, but he’s the doctor.

I read forty pages of Rustic Ride by Tanya Warring. Glossner Books wants a review from me in the morning. It’s a smooth book about two lesbians who fall in love. There are far too many drinking scenesin the tale, but I enjoy the continuous and layered theme of women with power. Just before eight o’clock, I begin chapter seven, almost halfway through the book, when three taps sound on the front, screen door.
