59 Come With Me
(Jayden)
I pat her on the head. "I'm okay, Abby. I'm glad you're here though." Her small smile lights up a part of me that's been dark for too long.
"I thought she might cheer you up. We were at the park, Winona says, her voice soft but tinged with
concern.
"Come in. I was just thinking about something" My voice comes out strained, barely masking the turmoil roiling within me.
"Are you okay? I mean, that was unbelievable really. I think we all need to lick our wounds for a while." Winona says.
"I'm angry." We walk into the lounge area, the weight of the day pressing down on us. I sit and pull Abby up onto my lap, her warmth a temporary balm to my frayed nerves. "With Gus?"
"With myself." I sigh, running a hand through my hair, feeling the frustration build.

"I dropped the ball with Brennan Industries. Gus is right. I'm not in a position to be running that company. I know that now." The admission feels like a knife twisting in my gut, sharp and unrelenting.
"You're just going to walk away?" Winona's eyes widen, a flicker of disbelief crossing her face.
"No way." I smile, a determined edge creeping into my voice. "I'm going to get my company back."
Winona smiles, and it's like the first ray of sunshine breaking through a storm. "What?" I ask, caught off guard by her sudden shift in mood.
"That's the very first time since I've been back that you sounded like you used to be, before the accident."
