“Thank you for meeting with me…” I spoke to the girl who had uprooted Jack’s entire life by the claims made fact by her actions. My heart ached sitting across from her as she was incredibly beautiful and young-making me question why Jack would keep her at bay.

Taking a sip from my alcoholic beverage, I used this as an excuse to avoid the truth as I was petrified of what it would mean for me-for Lila. She had no reason to meet me, for all she knew, I was a psychotic ex-girlfriend or even a journalist-and yet, she looked to me with every intention of being honest.
“I don’t need all of the details...I just want the basics.”
“Then I need a drink stronger than this…”
