“Dad probably got drunk and forgot I was out there. But in the middle of the night, Gus snuck out to rescue me. He’d woken up to use the bathroom and realized I wasn’t in my bed. He couldn’t find the keys to the shed, so he got a pair of bolt cutters from the garage and cut the lock.” Lila let out a tiny gasp. “Holy shit.” “Dad was furious. He beat Gus up pretty badly for it.”
