Diana and I stood in the wreckage.
"She's right," Diana whispered. "About all of it."
I didn't respond.
"I came here to ask you both to move to California with me. Jack and I talked about it and he said you'd be welcome. There's a good school district. You could stop working so much. Iris could have a yard and a dog and—"
"No."
"Just like that? You won't even think about it?"
"There's nothing to think about." I sat back down on the couch, suddenly exhausted. "You left. We survived. We built something here. I'm not throwing that away because you found a new boyfriend with a nice house."
Diana's face went red. "That's not fair."
"None of this is fair."
My phone buzzed again.
Harlow: u ok? ur sister text u were fighting with someone
Cassidy: if your mom is being a bitch i will fight her
I typed back to the group chat they'd apparently created at some point.
Me: I'm fine. Family stuff. I'll text tomorrow.
Vivienne responded immediately.
Vivienne: We're here if you need us.
