"He had promised me not to tell anyone. Gavin said if I did, Lucy would break up with him. So when Lucy cheated on him, he told me I still shouldn't say anything because their relationship was already hanging by a thread. He claimed he'd just move on and win her heart again. I didn't want to be the reason they fell apart. But then he rejected her, and the guilt started to drown me. I felt like maybe I should have told her earlier. I was under the illusion they'd eventually work things out," I said, pouring my heart out to Lamar for what must've been half an hour.

Lamar was such a good listener. He didn't judge me, not even once. He didn't flinch at my words or make me feel worse.

My brother had left when he noticed how uncomfortable I was talking about all this with him around. I had asked him to find Rayden and make sure he didn't come looking for me. Penn understood and left, leaving Lamar and me alone in the cabin.
