Chapter 167

• Cyrus
• My dad has slowly been dying away, and we didn’t even notice.
• “Meredith is cheating on you,” I inform him without cushioning the blow, and he flinches. “You deserve better than her.” Softening my tone, I step closer. “You deserve to be happy, Dad, to stop putting up with these gold-digging cunts.” His eyes dart to Blair as if to check her thoughts on that, but I know she doesn’t care. “You deserve to find someone who makes you laugh” —I look at her then too— “and who reminds you what it feels like to be free and revel in life again,” I finish, and she swallows but smiles as I turn back to my father.
