Mom’s new boyfriend was Archie’s dad? She’d been here? She couldn’t get away, she couldn’t get home, because she’d been with his dad? Had they been here the whole time? What about Archie’s mom? Oh. Fuck. The pair broke apart, and I recoiled, backing away from the rail because I didn’t want them to see me. I slammed into Archie, who didn’t look surprised, but he did look pissed. Twisting, I searched Jake’s, Coop’s, and Ian’s expressions. They’d known. Every single one of them. Just when I didn’t think it could get any worse. I had to get out of there.
