Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Crippling Mistake

I was never going to learn to mind my own business. Not even when it meant preventing hurting the people I loved the most in the world. I should have listened to Dad when he tried to reason with me all the way to his truck while I marched him to the door.

"This is terrible timing," he said. "It's not going to go well, Fee. Let me find the right time to tell her, please."

I should have stayed out of it, let him sort out how he was going to do the big reveal without sending Mom into a spiral. While my blood boiled with the need to drive him to his house myself to ensure he got there in one piece so Mom could take him apart personally for lying to both of us.

Yeah, should have just backed off and focused on murder.

Didn't.
