“It’s been about two days Thenot taken the which I was at Jillian’s I’m not sure”
“Blackouts?” she frowns “I thought the issue was DID”
“It is” He stops, glances atof them as blackouts, that’s what I know them to be”
She shrugs Disht “Did you take any medication at Jillian’s?”
“Not willingly But the doctor there injectedMaybe twice, I’m not sure I want to knohat’s in my system now And have documentation of that, should we need it”
She nods, pulling iteet a urine sample”
“Layana,” the attorney’s voice, a booh my cell, and I step away, into the hall
“Hey John I need your help”
Teauard shack calling the house to alert us of their presence It takes less than foura quick roundabout through the cul-de-sac outside our gates I guess the sight of three ared Jillian’s mind I watch from an upstairs balcony, and try to understand the woman below me A woht, justified Even in her lies, her deceit For what? The good of Brant? The good of BSX? Or the good of herself? I step away from theand walk downstairs, Brant’s foroodbyes in full force
“The results of the blood tests won’t be available until tos as soon as they are processed But I would guess, speaking to you about your experience… anything you were injected ill pass through your system in the next twenty-four hours” She fishes a card from her pocket “This is Dr Henry Terra He’s, as best I could tell froest you call hiical therapy, then to get his legal advice and support for whatever battle you end up fighting I have to assuressed since you were a child” She turns to“Once you sort this out, I expect to see you at HYA”
“You know rin at her, and there is a moment of sad connection, when I see the pity in her eyes and want to brush it away Brant and I are fine We are strong I pulled back the roof of lies and we survived, are fighting, our anger focused on Jillian We have love, the rest will get better or worse, and I would rather have worse than have any more lies I hold the door and watch her leave, Brant’s arainst my neck as he bends down to kiss me
It is horrible for me to think, to wish for, but in that one ainst the world? A part of ainst the wall and fk , no analysis, just raw need fulfilled by both I roll in Brant’s arht the fire ofthere Not in this moment when he is broken and I am exhausted and the white hat is so heavy on my head
I would rather have worse than have any more lies I just told one after Lee for the purpose of keeping both halves ofhim close If he leaves, if the doctor has a cure, if he weeds out Lee and I aht?
Right?
