Cat's thoughts halted as she realized Luke was starting to nod off beside her. He had stubbornly refused to go to bed before seeing his father tonight. Excited about being chosen as a football captain, he'd wanted to share his accomplishment. But Alex was late and that was unusual.
Should she call him? Should she ask Mrs. Billings where he was?
No.
Forget it.
I'm not some 1950s housewife waiting for the husband to return home.
He could very well take some responsibility, though couldn't he? Alex should've informed her if he was going to be late. Was he with another-?
Damn him.
Nope.
She wasn't going to go down that road. Uncle Joe, Nia, and every one of her well-wishers had always told her, "You deserve everything good in life." They said that life wants to hand over what one truly wants and really wishes for.
Did I really deserve to have him?
