Jace "And you told me to get over you, then skipped along," I say before thinking.

Arlan I nod sleepily and find myself falling back asleep in his arms, his hand stroking my hair back. "I know," I whisper before slipping into peaceful unconsciousness.

Bye

Jace I look away from her, my hand on the floor where she had been. "I didn't mean that," I whisper, "I was angry, broken..."

Jace "Forget it?" I flash a smile, "I don't think I can forget something like that, Ray..."

Jace I hesitate before moving to her side and wiping the tears from her face with a shaky hand. "I-I hurts me, Ray. You said I did nothing, but that ...

Jace I swallow. "W-what do you want?" I ask.

Jace I look back down. "I-I don't know what I want," I admit, "I don't know anything right now."

Jace I look up at her and blink back the emotion that came with. "I-If we're going to do this...shouldn't we come up with some kind of plan for custody ...

Jace An awkward silence comes over us, Rayah back in the other room. I stay where I am, terrified of having to leave. Those kids...They don't deserve that.

Jace I glance up at Rayah before looking away. "C-can you give your mother and I a few minutes?" I ask, looking down, "We need to talk."

Jace I run a hand over my face, not sure what to say. "Shouldn't you be in bed?" I ask, changing the subject.

Jace I flash a smile at him and sit back, looking down. "Just away for a while," I say.

Jace I glance up at Rayah before looking back to the twins. "Sorry, Rye," I say.

Jace I swallow. "Just putting some stuff away," I lie, "Daddy's gotta do something."
