“I know,” I said. “But we’ll find a way. Promise me.”
He kissed my temple. “I promise. I’m going to marry you someday Abigail Gardener.”
Epilogue
I was grateful, Abby didn’t have to testify. Delia took the plea deal. She’s in juvie until she turns eighteen. Then she has probation for five years. Drug and alcohol testing during probation. No leaving the state. College at Miami, her dream is out of the question now.
I didn’t get a part in the play, but I got the girl just a different one. If there was one thing that loving my twin sister taught me is to not judge a book by its cover.
Marty Halson and I built sets together for the play and that led to this relationship that I have now. The girl who is an athlete like me but more tomboyish, not the one I ever go for has piqued my interest.
One who just might be able to kick my butt even if she’s only five feet six. Blonde, blue eyed and mouthy. That girl has got some mouth on her.
Mom doesn’t like her. Dad likes her spunk but thinks I can do better. Abby minds her business because I interfered too much with her and Cal. I still want to because I don’t want to see my sister get hurt just like she doesn’t want to see me hurt, but this is different. I’m a grown man almost. Let’s see what happens with Marty. I’m ready for this whatever it is. Marty refuses to put a label on it. She doesn’t like labels.
