#Chapter 19 – His Sister
Abby

Tiffany crosses her arms, waiting for my answer. I don’t really know what to say to her. He’s the one

who divorced me, after all. It’s not like I set out to break his heart.

she knows something I don’t.

I open my mouth to ask her what she means by that exactly, but Karl speaks up before I get the

chance. “Let’s not get into this right now,” he says.
