Severing Our Ties
Hunger gnawed at my stomach, so I decided to step out for groceries.
But the moment I opened the door, I saw him.
It’s William again.
Leaning against his car, hunched over, dark circles under his eyes, looking nothing like the arrogant, untouchable man he once was.
The second he saw me, he dropped to his knees.
Grabbing onto my pant leg, he pleaded, his voice shattered.
“Susie… Caleb is really bad. The doctors say it’s psychological.”
His breath hitched. “Please, I’m begging you. Just see him. Just once.”
