“Such anger You know, I’ether I didn’t pick her as your type” She tilts her head and smiles “You deserve someone so much prettier, a better match for you You have so irl like Fable”

Adele spits out Fable’s name like it’s poison Fable does much the same with Adele’s name “I already told you, watch what you say”

She waves a hand “What are your plans for the future anyway, h on to pro ball? I know that’s your dream I think you could do it You’ve always chased your dreae”

What is she talking about? “I’ next You need to leave”

Her eyes widen in feigned shock “Why, Drew, I can’t believe you would say such a thing to et rid of me?”

“Yes,” I tell her bluntly

“I need to coet est sin Did you know that? I’ve never done anything so wicked as what I did with you”

“Shut up” If I could slaplike some sort of little kid, I would “Just shut up”

“Truth hurts, doesn’t it? Iine what it’ll do to your dad Oh, it’ll tear him up Destroy him and his relationship with you You’ll lose him forever” She smiles “I’ve already lost him What does it matter if you lose him too?”

“Get out,” I tell her She’s already overstayed I need her gone Fable’s due home any minute and I can’t risk a confrontation

“Why would you want to do that to hiht you loved him” I don’t understand why she needs to do this
