After the meeting with Adrian, I stood outside the bar for a while, minutes after he left. For a second I didn’t know what to do or where to go until I decided to go to the hospital. I haven’t been to see Sierra since the day of her breakdown.By the time I get to the hospital, the weight of everyth
For a moment I’m stunned not expecting him to ask that.“I heard Grandpa and Grandma talking. They said that Aunt Brook pushed Aunt Sierra down the stairs because she didn’t want her to have your baby” he answers my silent question.When I don’t say anything, he continues, “Besides, when both Aunt B
