A single word like a tossed stone raised a thousand ripples.
I dropped that bombshell and left immediately, tossing my pre-packed luggage into the car.
This farce needed to end.
Ashton rushed up and grabbed my arm: "Delia, explain yourself clearly, what do you mean!"
I shoved him away forcefully: "Exactly what I said. Is it that hard to understand?"

He only faltered for a split second before regaining his composure: "Yes, I did hide some things from you. Melody and I have known each other for a long time. She's just a sister I met at the orphanage."
"After she was adopted, she didn't want people knowing she came from an orphanage, that's why we didn't tell you."
"You two are best friends, can't you be understanding about this?"
"Our bickering is just a habit from childhood, it doesn't mean anything else."
