Chapter 180: I Don't Deserve You Part 1

Carter sat in a club with Cruz, sipping on a glass of whiskey. He knew he shouldn't be drinking, but he couldn't help it. Something about it just made coping with this whole ordeal so much easier. He sighed and leaned against the back of the booth with an arm propped up on it.

"We gonna talk about what happened to you?" Cruz picked up his beer and took a sip from it.

"What is there to say?" Carter sighed and spun his glass on the table between his hands.

"Why you left the business to rot maybe? Or... why you stopped loving Ari? No, I won't apologize for that last one." Cruz brought his beer up and took a sip.

"I never stopped loving her, Cruz. What the hell, man?" Carter slammed his glass down and sat back with a sigh.

"Oh? Care to elaborate then? Tell me why you walked out on your kids and wife and business?" Cruz set his beer down with a loud thud.

"Priorities. I suck at fucking priorities." Carter rolled his eyes.
