"You let another woman and her kid live fancy while your own children were stuck in a basement, hungry. Sheldon, you're the worst excuse for a father I've ever met." His eyes went wide.

The pretty older woman had a deep dislike of curse words and wasn't scared to scold anyone that used them. "It's not a mistake at all. He's been a zombie for weeks. You're the only one that can make it right. Lisa, go out there and tell him what you told me about Michael." "He's not going to listen to me. He's hurt and angry." Lisa tore off a paper towel and pressed it to her eyes. "If you don't say anything at all then my boy will believe a lie. You get your ass out there and tell him what you came to say.
