Chapter 113 One hundred and twelve

• Josh catches up to me before I reach the house, he offers me a smile, I shrug. None of this is his fault. We take a seat by the kitchen window, staring at the trio seated inside the gazebo. From our position here, we can’t see their lips moving but I can’t help wishing they will start a conversation. Talk to each other even if it ends in a screaming bout.
• “Do you think they will reconcile?”
• Josh snickers. He hops to the fridge like he pays rent and returns with a huge chunk of cake. The leftover I had saved to munch on later because I can’t resist anything sugary and his family didn’t let me enjoy it. Fleeting anger surges through me, I close my eyes.
