Chapter 285

• "So then why do you think he keeps me around? I'm sorry darling, I think you're lovely, but if you think that he's not either already sleeping with other people or wanting to then you're kidding yourself" Her words knock me over like a wrecking ball, my mouth completely dries up and I hold onto the edge of the table. No, no he wouldn't, not my Rhode , but what if...
• "How long have you known him? A year? I've known him for a decade, I think I know what I'm talking about" Kate continues before she takes a sip of her wine.
• "Maybe that's the Rhode you knew but that's not my Rhode " I tell her quietly. I feel like I've just been through this with Peppy, the Rhode that he was with them is not the same Rhode that I know now. It doesn't make any of this easier to listen to, and it's not something I can just so easily brush aside.
