“Bullshit. We’re leaving.”

Veronica smirked as if she had another secret. “Have it your way, Deacon.”

She opened the door to the back and looked back at us when she closed the glass door.

“Something’s not right,” Stephanie said. “Why would she bring you here, knowing she was going to lose? Veronica never loses.”

“We made a deal,” I said. “I keep my mouth shut about her unscrupulous habits, and I get my family back.”

“After five years, you really think she’s going to let you take Suzanne? She thinks you’re dead. What if she moved on. Her and your son?”

Veronica approached Suzanne, and Suanne’s face lit up in a large smile.

“What the fuck?”

Veronica put her arms around Suzanne, and Suzanne returned the favor. The two women kids and I immediately lost my shit.
