I kept my promise to Dylan, shielding him from Maurice, but it’s proving difficult. I left one night with Dylan, hoping someone understood, but that decision would prove futile.

I packed two bags with Maurice, passed out from another binge. I left with Dylan, drove until I found a diner, and pulled into the parking lot. I unbuckled Dylan and carried him into the restaurant.

I sat down in a booth with Dylan. A server brought me something to drink, and I grabbed some cereal for Dylan. I sat there, figuring what I would say to Carri. While I pondered, Dylan grabbed a newspaper on the table.

I took the newspaper from Dylan as something caught my eye. I opened it to see a marriage announcement of Carrington Jones and Nikita Petrova. I stared at the paper as my heart sank.
