Chloe's POV
He says laughing and I frown once I realize I won't be able to see the kid since he's at school.
Iclose the door and lead them to the living room instead of the kitchen, knowing the two of them haven't spoken to Alex since before I came back.
Which is exactly the purpose of today's gathering. As much as I appreciate my friends worrying about me, it upsets me that they sovreadily blamed and attacked Alex for not coming after me and forcing me to come home.
He and Thomas are the only ones who know my story and both of them understood the importance of what I needed at the time and I need them to understand that.
We are all family. We'll have great memories and jokes and banter but I also know we're going to have fights and arguments as well.
What I don't want is for there to be any falling out because of pride.
