Kaitlyn faced off with Wayne in his living room. “I’ve been here two weeks now. The sooner I start making an income, the sooner I can move out on my own.” “Don’t you understand?” He stepped to her and caught her by her shoulders. “I want to take care of you.” “I’m a big girl, Wayne.” She sighed. “You don’t need to take care of me.” She tried to take a step back but he gripped her shoulders tighter. “You’re making me crazy.” “I need an income and I need something to keep me busy.” She put her hands on his chest. “I’m not going to sit around and do nothing. I don’t have enough to buy a house and to live off of. I’m going to need a job if I’m going to do both.” He placed his forehead to hers and brought her close to him. “I have you back in my life,” he said quietly. “I’m not letting you go again.” “You don’t have a choice.” She spoke gently. “This is my life.” “I’m a part of your life now.” He raised his head. “You need to realize that.”
