Chapter 6
My phone suddenly rang
It was James.
“Autumn, where are you?”
“Ryan just called me, asking why you’re not home yet.”
“I told him my mom wanted you to stay over tonight. He asked you to call him when you
can.”
After a pause, he asked hesitantly:
“Did you two fight?”
“No.”
“Hmm…”
“He’s cheating on me.”
“…Fuck.”
James’s chest heaved with anger. After a moment, he called out urgently:
“Autumn, where are you? I’ll come get you.”
“I’m outside my building.”
“It’s cold out. Go inside first, I’ll be right there.”
I looked up at the silhouettes moving behind the floor–to–ceiling windows and smiled bitterly.
“Ryan… he brought his mistress home.”
“Uncle James, I don’t have a home anymore.”
Chapter 6
James took a deep breath, trying to stay calm as he comforted me.
