Chapter 15

Levi

“It’s finally happening!” Theo cheers. He looks back at the girl and beckons her to come to him. She smiles and obeys. “I’m so lucky. . . .”

I know that he’s just happy and everything he is saying right now is far from personal, but what I really don’t like is the fact that it has to happen right in front of me.

I wave off Daniel as he starts to say something. “I’ll be waiting in the car.”

I leave without waiting for anyone’s reply, entering the car and closing the door behind me. I want to rest my head and just close my eyes to forget everything, but of course, it doesn’t take long for Daniel and Theo to come running right back.

And they brought the girl with them.

She’s in the backseat with Theo, and they look so happy absorbed in their own little world. Something about it makes me feel very strange, but then again, everything makes me feel so strange these days.

“Her name is Abby,” Daniel tells me with a little smile.

I can tell that he’s genuinely happy for Theo, and so am I.
