“I gotta reschedule then.” Fisher disappears through the kitchen.

Marla comes back in. “You should thank your sisters. They’re going to go over there tonight to spend time with Lucy, but, Adam, this is your responsibility.”

“The hell it is,” I say.

“Adam.” Dad uses his calm but authoritative voice.

I raise my hands in front of me. “Is everyone forgetting she walked out on me?”

“Did you or did you not take vows that said in sickness and in health? Did you or did you not tell her you would help her? She told Mandi that you were being so great in agreeing to show her places and things to try to help her regain her memory.”

“I did.” I weave my hand through my hair.

“Then it’s your responsibility. Why you thought you could just drop her off and let her fend for herself up there is beyond me.”

“I can’t live there,” I say.

Marla’s hand runs up my arm. “I know this is hard and we wish we could take away the pain you’re feeling, but there are three bedrooms. No one said you had to sleep with her.”

Says the woman who can’t stop touching her husband. Does she know how hard it is to be around Lucy and stop myself from wanting to sleep with her? I might hate her, but my dick says I don’t. No matter how hard I try, with the way Lucy keeps looking at me, he’s gonna win eventually.

“What do you want me to do?” I ask in exasperation.

“You move in there for the time being.” Dad stands.

“This is insane,” I grumble.

Jed, Fisher, and Cameron all stand around, not saying a word. Like they’re on her side too.

“I thought I was the damn Greene. Shouldn’t you guys be on my side?” I yell.

“Technically, she’s a Greene too,” Jed says.

Fisher and Cameron snicker.

I refrain from telling them to fuck off, and instead go upstairs to pack my shit, wishing I was an only child like Cam.
