Me:
There’s more.
Piper:
Please give me one more reason to drive there and poke his eyes out with a rotten stick.
Me:
Calm down. I've been advised to stay away from him. The police are more than likely there now anyway.
Piper:
Why the hell are the police involved? Did he hurt you? If he so much as laid a finger on you, I will skin him alive and frame his carcass in my gallery.
I cover my mouth with my hand to stifle my laugh. Knowing how protective Piper is of me, I wouldn’t put it past her.
Me:
He didn’t hurt me physically. I promise. But he’s hurt me financially and has been draining my bank accounts for months.
Piper:
I need to see you. What are you doing after the game?
Me:
I have plans.
Piper:
I have a spare room. Do you have a place to stay?
Me:
Yes. Wade offered me a room at his new house.
Piper:
That’s great news. Maybe this was all meant to be. Living with Wade means you get to be closer to him, which is what you wanted.
Me:
I told Kali everything.
Piper:
Holy shit, this is huge. What did she say?
Me:
She went straight to Marcus and struck a deal. We’re telling Wade when the season is over.
Piper:
I’m so happy for you.
