***One Week Later***

“Just take the damn deal!” The lawyer grits his teeth, but I stare numbly into space, even though it’s practically impossible with both my eyes swollen from the beating. “Look at you.” He waves his hand up and down and then taps on the file in front of us. “None of this is good for you. The last thing, the rage… it just proves you’ve done what they’ve accused you of. No judge in this fucking country will go against her father. Take the deal, Brochan,” he almost begs, and for the first time, I focus my attention on Patrick. My father’s best friend and a man who used to be a hotshot lawyer back in the day.

But even though he’s kept his license, he’s succumbed to alcohol, and the addiction rules his life. He explained to me once that when a person meets unbearable pain, he finds different resources to soothe it.

He couldn’t handle his son committing suicide, and honestly, I didn’t judge him. Felt sorry maybe, but I was never in the position to judge him. The only reason he’s handling my case is because everyone else has refused to.

His wrinkled face has aged ten years it seems from the beginning of this nightmare. His suit has several stains, and by his labored breathing, I know he’s exhausted from all the stress. “Think about your dad.”

Dad.

The person who took me in and raised me as his own. I can’t imagine how he’s coping with all this, especially with the town seeking blood and vengeance like vultures. However, despite that, I have his full support, and he has never—not ever—asked me if the accusations are true. “No deal. I won’t admit to doing something I haven’t done.”

Patrick covers his face with his hands and exhales heavily while I continue to play in my mind the pictures like a PowerPoint presentation.

Beautiful Emerald in the arms of another man.

The most ironic part is that after all the rage and my initial reaction settled down, I didn’t believe it. Didn’t want to think it was possible. After all, her dad was a powerful man. He could fabricate anything.

But Patrick brought with him other evidence that Tom didn’t have the chance to give me after my outburst.

A handwritten letter, in her writing. I would have recognized it anywhere, since she used to slip small love notes to me at my workplace. Words written in that letter will forever be engraved in my head.

Eve, stop writing to me. Summer has ended and so did we. Stop!
