Chapter 20

His dad pulled out a smooth black card. "Here, I shouldn't have taken this from you. You're a good kid, and now you have to live with two different families, so this is me saying sorry, alright?" He took the card not really understanding, "I love you Mackenzie, told ever leave me, and I would ever leave you, that's a promise." His dad hugged him then looked him in the face.
