Chapter 70 I'm Sorry Dad

• As I left the hospital, the midday sun warmed my face, but my thoughts remained on Cyrus. I ordered a ride and waited outside, feeling a mixture of exhaustion and anxiety. When the car arrived, I got in and gave the driver my address.
• The ride home felt longer than usual. My mind raced with worries about Cyrus and anger at Reggie and Ezra. I tried to focus on Dad’s words, trusting that he’d make sure everything was okay.
• When I got home, I headed straight to the bathroom. The hot water washed away some of my tension, but my thoughts never strayed far from Cyrus. After a quick shower, I dressed and checked my phone. Messages from my brothers, Mom, and Eva too.
