A Marriage of Convenience
Shawn is back to rubbing circles on the inside of my wrist, “Don’t you dare give him anything, Rosie.”
“Yeah, Rosie,” James mocks, “His life is worthless anyways. Shawn Pierce. Son of two addicts. Made it three seasons in the NFL before having to retire,” James uses his free hand to grip Shawn’s shoulder, twisting, “Indefinitely, it seems.” Shawn lets out a pained grunt through gritted teeth, and the tears I’d been holding back spring to life.
“Stop,” I whimper, “Please.”
James’ hand is swiping away my tears, “Don’t cry for him. He didn’t appreciate you, baby.”
