Jase didn't give me any reprieve. He was adamant he didn't want me or the kids in The Village any longer and insisted I start looking for another place to live. He didn't want to accept that it wasn't finding another place to live that was an issue-it was paying for it. I had never admitted the depth of the debt, and I was afraid to commit to anything more than I was paying until I was more secure. I needed a car, I wanted to have money in savings, and the medical bills paid off, but every time I got close to having one thing taken care of, something else hit.
We were debating for at least the hundredth time why it wasn't the right time to leave The Village.
"I'm starting to think it's just you being nostalgic, Gia."
I rolled my eyes at that idiotic notion. "You're kidding me, right?"
