Chapter 30

We stayed a couple of more days. I’m just about to get Lucy for breakfast when Abby comes charging into the house like she’s on a warpath.

“Hey, Sis. I was just about to get Luce for breakfast.” I tell her as she storms up the stairs.

“Ah huh, is she up yet? I need to get her to school.”

“She is, but she hasn’t had breakfast. She’s been working on her assignment all night. Ease up on the kid.” I don’t know what’s up her arse this morning, but she can’t lay into the poor girl just cause she’s in a bad mood.

“When you have kids, you’ll understand.” Abby snaps. She stops in her tracks and turns around with her hand over her mouth. “Oh, my god. Lily, I’m so sorry.” She runs down the stairs and hugs me tightly.

I laugh. “Abby, calm down. I don’t know what’s going on with you, but you really need to relax.”

“I wasn’t thinking when I said that. I’m so sorry.”

I sigh inwardly. This happens a lot with Abby. “Listen, I’m okay with it. I’ve accepted that I won’t be able to have my own children.
