“We need to talk to your mom,” Op told his little girl, brushing away her tears with his thumb. “I don’t know how we missed this.”
Harlyn shrugged. “Mom always seems busy.”
I frowned. Yeah, and I knew who was keeping her that way.
“Mom is trying to set up her shop and stuff, Har. She’s working hard,” Op explained. Sugar was starting a clothing store in town. She wanted to make it affordable but classy, so she keeps saying. Although, at this stage, I didn’t think much of her class as she snuck around behind my brother’s back and as it seems, ignored her child’s pleas for help. “Let’s go see where Chelsea is with that ice cream.”
Op gave Harlyn one last squeeze before he placed her on the floor. She looked over at me and smiled softly. “Thanks, Uncle Blizzard.”
Reaching over, I ruffled her hair. “Anytime kid.”
Op lifted his chin in thanks as he took her by the hand and led her out the door.
I sighed, laying back on the bed. I was happy that at least we were now aware of what was going on. Seeing Harlyn mope around the clubhouse had been agony for everyone. And just knowing that there were people making someone you loved’s life hell, just made my heart ache. I would do anything to protect the people I cared about, even it if meant going down to that fucking school and smashing heads together to get it done.
