Curtain Call

Chapter 21

(I have stated my feelings on this. Whatever you have going on with Peyton or any other woman. Is not what I care about.)

(I have my life. My son. My work. Friends. I have a fulfilling life.)

(We agreed to keep this quiet. Long ago.)

(It isn't up to you to change things.) Brooke insisted.

(He's my son too!) Lucas exclaimed.

(You're exactly who you've always been.) Brooke proclaimed.

(What is that supposed to mean?) Lucas asked.

(I've grown changed. You revert back to what is familiar. Despite the fact that the two of you are mismatched.) Brooke said.

(You're so judgemental. Her and I are more alike then different.)

(I wanted to be with you. What was I supposed to do exactly? Wait around.?)

(I moved on.) Lucas proclaimed.

(I'm not stuck. I refuse to setttle. You can leave now.) Brooke proclaimed.

Brooke was relieved when he left her home.

(Momma. Why were you and uncle Lucas fighting?) Eugene asked.

As he climbed down the stairs. And went over to her.

(It's nothing for you to worry about.) Brooke replied. Hugging him tightly.
