I want to laugh but I don’t I’ at my dad’s irritation More like at her desperation and the fact that she seeo into a co an affair?”

“I’ator He’s tailing her now Finding out all her juicy secrets Bitch doesn’t stand a chance”

“How could it? I’ here She is I’ve been faithful to her our entire uilt nestles in deep withinI want to hear I’d al but cheat on Adele “Really, Dad? You can be honest withto tell”

“Really” His expression is hard; his eyes, as blue as mine, are cold “I loved her Deep down inside, I still do I have to wonder if she ever lovedhas she been unfaithful? Who else is involved? How deep do her lies go?” He shakes his head, his disgust clear “She’s wronged me Made a fool of me in front of our friends For all I know she’s been flaunting this boy toy of hers while I’ I don’t know”

Dad’s gazea scene and he doesn’t like it I really couldn’t give a shit “If she’s so great, why aren’t you with her?”
