“What?” For a moment, I hate him. He knows what it means to me for him to say this. I wish he wasn’t. I wish he didn’t care so much and would let me live my life the only way I know how since my world stopped and starting spinning in the opposite direction.
Scott leans down and whispers, “He’d want you to try.”
The dam is threatening to break, but I contain the tears and swallow hard to push down the sob waiting to break out. I turn to Marc. “Okay.” Then I face Scott, “Now take me home.”
“I’ll take you,” Marc offers.
“She’d love that,” Sylvia blurts out. I swear, I’m going to kill her!
“He’s been drinking,” I try.
Marc grins. “Haven’t touched it.” He lifts his beer. It doesn’t look like he’s had but a sip.
Crap.
“Fine.”
How did I get myself into this mess?
