Paying For It

Our reunion had been short-lived, but oh-so-sweet. When Shondra called, she asked me to put her on speaker so she could fill Jae in at the same time.

No wonder Shondra doted on Kae so much. No wonder I saw sadness fill her eyes every October. I shuddered to think what she went through, practically alone.

Later, when she returned home, we’d talk about why she didn’t come to me, why she didn’t want to share her burden.

Shondra was a rock. Time and time again, she took care of everyone but herself. She put her life on hold for her mother, for me, and even for Axel. She didn’t allow herself to crumble because we needed her.

When all this was over, I was going to fight to make sure my girl had a happily ever after. I was going to make sure she ended up with a man who’d make her happy and put her above himself.
