Staying home from work to nurse my broken heart, Spring called everyone sometime after lunch and they all came running, taking the rest of their day off work to be there for me whenever I woke up. It felt good to see their faces and feel their warmth. It took some convincing to get Jerry to agree not to kill Landon should he ever show up here, but it was nice knowing that he has my back.Mercy pulled me aside and asked what had happened in Paris. I just told her that when Landon and I got there, and I couldn’t go through with getting married, he was hurt and said that it was a mistake to be so spontaneous. That maybe now wasn’t the right time for us. I told her I agreed and we decided to go our separate ways.I couldn’t tell her the truth. I know that she would worry and want to try and fix things. She would be impetuous and try to out Dellinger in some way, and that would only mean more backlash from him. No, I had to stick with a story that connected to the cover Spring gave her.
