Chapter 137 I Miss Her

• She always said she wanted Lucy to leave her useless brother, but when it finally happened, it didn't feel right. Somewhere deep inside, she still wanted Lucy to stay part of the family.
• A small part of her, unrealistic as it was, held onto the idea that they could fix things. She had noticed how Flint had been struggling since the divorce. He wasn't handling it well, and anyone could see it.
• Flint didn't expect Melanie to bring up Lucille. For a fleeting moment, something like hope crossed his mind. If Melanie called her, maybe Lucille would listen. Maybe she'd give them a chance—for Melanie's sake, if nothing else.
