I sat behind the wheel of my car, staring at the facility in front of me where Elaine was. The towering concrete building looked as cold and uninviting as ever. The thought of stepping inside made my stomach twist, but I had no choice. Elaine needed me. She didn't know it yet, but she did. And I had promised myself I would never abandon her, no matter how complicated things got.
I've missed her visiting days twice already and although I may want to claim to be busy but the truth is…
I had been avoiding this place for days, overwhelmed by everything else—Monty, my father's secrets, the growing tension with Harry. But now, it was time to face reality. I couldn't keep pushing Elaine to the back of my mind.
