Chapter 286 What A Mate Would Look Like

• Mom’s words stick with me the rest of the evening. Wyatt and Beau stay up to help Steven with the security system but everyone else is starting to head to bed.
• I’ve moved my wash to the dryer, and sit on the stoop near the door in the garage.
• I’m not ready for bed yet, and I just keep thinking about what Mom said. It’s already too late for me, I realize. I guess I’ve always kind of known that, but having someone else point it out to me, someone who knows me as well as my mom does, really sticks it straight into my heart.
