Chapter 40

• I opened the door to the house only to be greeted by a crashing sound and Ann yelling. I walked into the living room watching her as she went psycho on Billy. I wondered what he had done now to deserve the weight of Ann’s wrath.
• “How could you say that to her? She’s been through enough without you adding to it!”
• The fight was about me, but I wasn’t sure exactly what in context. I moved close to Maria who was at the foot of the stairway. Maria turned to me with a polite smile and put an arm around me. My dad and Joe just watched. Ash was nowhere to be seen. I had spent a wonderful night with Josh only to come home and have it ruined. I needed to move out sooner than scheduled.
