When I get to the house, I don’t have a plan other than sitting around and waiting for CJ to get there I want to hear him out I want to believe he’d be honest with h to walk around like this Not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because we’re together I want to listen while CJ explains why he didn’t have his boot on today, because today is different He’s not healed He’ll have an excuse, soh about the whole thing and spend the rest of row urgent
That is the only plan I have for us, so I can’t explain why I pack up s
It’s over two hours later before CJ returns ho over the discussion notes my teacher posted for the class we reetsforward, I notice CJ is back to wearing his boot And the original, newer condition sneaker he left the house with

"What?" My eyes widen He’s run on it?
"I wanted to see if I could do it and have that shit not bother otta chase after people occasionally It’s part of the job"
"You aren’t working right now, are you?" I ask My voice shakes
What else has he been lying about?
