She rolled her eyes and opened her door. “Lennox, you need to learn how to relax. All the problems you think you have are solvable. You and Jonas will be fine. You’ll move to Wisconsin. You’ll find a new job. Can we now go get our nails done?”

“You are going to drive me crazy before you ride off into the sunset with your biker boy, Lennox.”

I slammed my door shut and sighed.
