She scooped Roo up and carried her towards the hallway. She looked at me, concern showing on her face. Not even Casey…
“Hey. You’re going to take care of Adrianna, like a fucking man! She fell with a screech and then dropped backwards off the bed with a yelp…
She hit the floor with a thump that I could feel through the bed. Casey’s eyes met mine and I could see the question written plain there. “I don’t know. She can go off and live with someone she loves while they become a fucking lawyer? What if, the only thing that is keeping you and her from being together is that both of you are just too chickenshit to admit it to the other?”
I chewed on that for a second, letting my mind go down all the potential alleys and pitfalls what she was suggesting might hold. She can go off and live with someone she loves while they become a fucking lawyer? “Make you a deal?”
I nodded.
