Chapter 16 – Present Day

“Back to Chicago?” I question Trent who is leaning back in his black Mercedes.

He nods his head yes. “How was Great Adventures?”

“Fine.” I hope he doesn’t notice my face turning red. I know I have to tell him but I can’t do it yet.

“So I take it you found out the news?” He looks over at me out of the corner of his eye. If anyone knows how I would take my mom dating someone seriously it would be him.

“Yeah. So I guess we will be related.”

“Not in the sense I had always hoped.” He smiles. “Kidding aside, my uncle is a good guy. Your mom seems…different since the incident.”

“I was really surprised when I got home. I not only didn’t recognize my house but my mom was totally different. I just hope she changes for good, you know?”

“I know Maddy.” He squeezes my knee in agreement. This is where Trent knows me. He has seen my mom at her worst and knows how it affects me.

“Did your uncle really remodel my mom’s house?”

“He had some help but yeah he did. I know your mom told him about that night. My uncle asked me about it. Are you upset?” I can hear the tension in his voice. This is a touchy subject for me and he is aware of it.

“At first I was upset but if she is really getting better than I am happy she is being truthful with him.” I don’t mention that I was torn apart when I thought Gabe knew.

“Don’t worry, I know my uncle would never tell anyone.” He assures me.

“Thanks, I hope not.” I say.

We pull up to his condo building, parking in his reserved spot. Trent opens the door and I see some of his furniture was delivered today. It’s amazing what money can get you. Trent thought I didn’t see him slip the salesman extra cash to get the priority service he likes.

“The couch looks nice.” I go over and sit on it.

“Yeah, it was delivered this afternoon. I really like it. Thanks Mad.” Trent comes over sitting next to me with a fist full of menus.

“No restaurant?” I ask.

“I thought we could order in and watch a movie or something. Is that ok?” He asks.

“Of course.” I am astonished Trent wants to stay in. In the year we lived together I think we stayed in a total of two times. He always wanted to go out on the town. Eat at every restaurant, see every show and dance at every nightclub. Trent Basso to stay at home on any night of the week was unheard of.

“Here you go. You pick.” He hands me the stack of menus and then gets up walking to the kitchen.

“Do you mind if we get pizza? I haven’t had Chicago pizza since being home and I love New York pizza but it just doesn’t compare to the deep dish.” I ask.

“Spinach and Onion?” Trent double checks if is still my favorite.

“Yep, get half sausage for you.
