Chapter 20

• I finally woke up around one in the afternoon. The sleep had been the most pleasant part of the entire weekend. The twins had vanished from my mind and dreams. I forced any and all thoughts of them from my head, leaving me with a dull, sometimes sharp pain in my chest. It felt like a chunk of my soul was missing, but dwelling on what could have been wouldn't help.
• My plan to leave was officially set into motion. I would leave Friday night. That gave me a week to work and pick up my check Friday morning. I had a little over twenty-five grand in my bank account. While it wouldn't sustain me forever, it would be enough until I found a job.
• I had everything planned out. Friday night, I would catch a bus to Atlanta, Georgia. From there, I'd get the soonest plane ticket. My destination didn't matter. I wanted to be far away from Georgia, somewhere no one would look. Once the plane landed, I'd find a job and somewhere cheap to live.
