Now?

Now, I’ because I’ve deht now

Gabe takesrooives him a warm smile and says, “I’ important, but you can see Daddy next weekend and he’ll take you to Coney Island then Okay?”

My son isn’t so easy to forgive this right now, so he just glares at her and then turns to hug me I kiss him on the head and as I pull away, I look one aze to her so I can get another hefty dose of her bitterness and gloating hate that would normally come after a victory such as this

Instead, she just stares atthat aze, because I don’t want to give her anything she’s seeking, and turnback into my kitchen I hear the front door open and close, and then they’re gone

Putting both ofto replay the conversation with Marissa in ot out of control

She told ive her a chance to atone for her sin

It’s true enough No apology would have everby the ht it up, it may have uilt It s better for her

Savage rage such as I have never felt except for one other time inwith Marissa, rises in uilty after what she did to me? How dare she try to put any of this on h ht actually dim a bit in my eyes

“Are you okay?” Mac asks quietly, and I realize she’s walked into the kitchen

My head snaps up, and she flinches by what she sees in uilty, and it see o but hurt them

“No, I’ain “How can I be okay after that?”

But between the two of us, only I know that the thing with Marissa was so et to see the really juicy stuff that occurred after she took Gabe back into his bedroom

“I’ that not only because she feels bad that Gabe was just stripped away fro and she’s sorry that I’ht now

Fuck… appears everyone is just sorry

Except for me, of course I apparently don’t understand the concept of apology Otherwise, I’d have let Marissa “atone for her sin”

What a crock of shit!

I push away from the counter and look at Mac Her face is lined orry, she’s got her hands clasped tight, and she’s on edge I know I ry vibes, and I make her nervous That should appall me but it doesn’t It actually sort of pisses me off more
