Chapter 103

• I parked my car in front of Steve’s house and I took a deep breath. I opted to come alone because I knew that this would be an emotional session. Jared loved Madison, she was his aunt, she had taken him in and cared for him. This was going to be one difficult talk.
• I hated being the one to bring more grief into his life, first his mother and now his aunt. I also wouldn’t let anyone else do this. It had to be me. I had to look Jared in the eye and tell him what had happened. I also knew his anger would be directed at me.
• “Hi, Kage,” Steve opened the door with a smile.
