Chapter 37
You know me better than anyone.
Lucas didn't realize how tense he had gotten. Brooke placed her hand in his. And he relaxed.
(Why exactly are you here Miss Sawyer.?) Clay's therapist asked.
(Because I've stayed away and hopefully thing's have settled.)
(I just want to do what's right. Maybe make up for my mistakes.) Peyton explained.
(I wasn't cut out for this whole mom situation. I know that now.)
(I'm aware that my children are better off without me and I hope one day. They can forgive me.)
(And maybe Lucas can forgive me and himself.)
(I couldn't ask for a better father for my sons. But Is Clay undeserving of getting to know his son. That isn't up to me. None of this is.)
(I did enough damage and I hope the right choice is made.)
(For Sawyer who matters the most here.) Peyton said. Before getting off the stand.
And making her way out of the court room.
...
After everyone returned to the court room.
The judge looked to Clay and Lucas making it clear that he's read what the people closest to Lucas and the situation has to say.
And he's also listened closely to Clay being kept from his child and robbed of memories he can't get back.
(I don't deny that you are a good I don't doubt that you love Sawyer.)
(But I need to do what's right for the child. Give him the best life outcome I can.)
(Which is why. I'm granting Clay Evans full custody. Of Sawyer.) The judge announced.
...
Brooke felt the tears well up in her eyes and she composed herself.
(Daddy can go home now?) Sawyer asked. He had been in the back room.
Having snacks and listening to audio books.
Lucas put a smile on his face and took Sawyer 's hand in his.
