Chapter 1256 Finding My Love:>> 56

• The rest of the week passed slowly. I could tell that Paige was doing her best to focus on the upcoming game. The story on the news wasn't going to just disappear, so on Wednesday we met with the school's lawyers, and with their help Paige released a statement to the media describing Sandy as a family friend, and that there had never been an inappropriate relationship between them. Being eighteen, Paige didn't need my approval, but I was glad she wanted it all the same. We also sent a copy to Bill, but we didn't wait for his okay, not that he had any problem with it.
