Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Fitch recalled the parting words Wendy had left him with earlier that evening.

"Fitch, that Zoey's mother seems to have a checkered past, and her stepdad's done ttoo, just got out a few days ago, and he's

already hitting on young girls again. Do you think we should help Zoey out?"

Ostensibly, she was expressing concern for Zoey, but in reality, she was airing all of Zoey's family's dirty laundry right in front of

Fitch.

An unreliable mother, a stepfather with a penchant for the bottle and the ladies - what kind of childhood had Zoey endured? Or

perhaps, what Wendy was insinuating was that there was something untoward between Zoey and her stepfather?

Wendy couldn't be too blunt with her words, as that would've likely backfired.

"But she's seeking out Tyler now, probably hoping he can sort sthings out for her, right?"

The implication was clear: Zoey was probably setting her sights on Tyler now. As she said this, Wendy cast a furtive glance at Fitch

to catch his expression.
