She’s a stay-at-home mom and Finn and Lark are at Chad’s parents for the weekend, so I’m hoping she’s not busy and is able to talk some. I thought of calling Baxter’s wife Amanda, but I haven’t talked to them in a while and it’d be kind of rude to lay this shit on her now. “You did what?” she hisses out after I tell her I told El to leave. “She told me she wanted the other guy. What was I supposed to do, tell her I’d be her man on the side?” “Tell me again exactly what she said.” I can hear the irritation in her voice. Is anyone ever going to be on my side in this thing? Christ. I take a deep breath and blow it out, gearing up to repeat what I’d just told her. “She said that all she ever wanted was me. Wanted me to be her one and only. Then she said she didn’t want to let the other guy in that way.” “So what’s the problem, Jag?”
