EVE - As I sat with Lori, she got a call. Her expression changed as she listened. She mouthed, "The lawyer," and I felt my stomach drop. I could only hear Lori's side of the conversation, but it was enough. The news wasn't good. "I understand, but the judge isn't convinced without evidence from the truck. Yes, I'll let them know." She ended the call, shoulders sinking. Drake stormed out of the house, his whole body tight with anger. He punched the side of the porch railing, then kicked a chair, sending it clattering down the steps. He glanced at me, saw the tears on my cheeks, and sighed. "Sorry. Fuck. I'm sorry, really. I didn't mean to upset you." "It's not that." I wiped my face with the back of my hand. "The lawyer said what they found isn't enough. Kha's not getting out." His eyes widened. He rubbed his temples, deflating. "I'm sorry, Eve... wow, okay. Yeah, that is something else. Perfect timing, I guess." He shifted like he wanted to come closer but stayed where he was.
