His fists clenched tight at his sides.
"It'swho let you and your mom down," Ben admitted, his eyes glistening, his voice cracking nết with the weight of unshed tears, togging at Joshua's heart.
"I'm not long for this world; this must be my stefaneuppance..." Ben cried I go, I need to talk to Chris.
Just givethis one chance." Joshua stood at the door, his back to Ben, his eyes dark and stormy.
"Maybe in the next life," he said slowly, his voice as cold as ice.
