章 48: Here comes trouble

Jason Davenport

I sat talking with the guys over a couple of beers at Greg's. Rory's parents, surprisingly, had decided to show up unannounced this weekend. So we had moved to Greg's instead. Which wasn't a problem for me anyway. I just needed to get out of that house and chill.

After the other day when Dad had thrown that stupid party, I couldn't stand being in the same room with him or his beloved wife.

Bullshit.

Introducing her to our relatives showed that he was really serious with her. It also meant that he was replacing my mother.

Officially.

Fuck Ashley.

But I knew I had to keep up my pretence so she wouldn't think I was onto her. That's why I had to leave. So I wouldn't do or say anything out of line.
