The Wrong Girl — Lily's Battered Toy

This is for you. Don't be sad. The storm will pass, and the sun will shine again. But the last person who believed me is gone now, too.

Adrian, are you here to take me home? I'm here because you're still useful. Get in. Sign it. This is the only value you have left.

Yes, Mr. Hawthorne. So you finally know how to address me. Those three years weren't wasted. Did someone in there hit you?

No. No. No one hit me. I did this to myself. Even if someone did, you deserved it. Clearly, these wounds still haven't taught you obedience.

Throw that trash away. No! Lily left it to me. She's gone. It's all I have left. A battered old toy from a dead girl and you still treasures it?

Because she was the last person who believed me. The divorce will be final in seven days. Then you'll disappear for good. Hurt Vanessa again, and I'll personally send you back.

I won't. I'll never go near her again. Seven days. Just seven more days.
