Diane was very quick to suspect her stepson, calling him in a frenzy after Rodger went into surgery at the hospital. “I know you did this!” “Diane, how the hell could I have done anything? I didn’t even know Rodger was in town.” “You’
Lucas felt like he could light the whole damn world on fire, and he’d just watch it burn. He was done taking everyone else’s bullshit. He’d remained quiet, reserved, and regal. This rebellion, even if no one saw, was everything he had buried. Kit and Jones got back to Lucas in less than one day. F
