Was she there? While Maddox and I were staying at Lilihill, was one of my husband’s former roommates and my best friend’s sister-in-law sleeping in your bed, under the same roof?
Rhys
… … …
Yes.
Lennon
Why wouldn’t you trust me enough to tell me? What have I ever done to deserve that?
Rhys
It wasn’t about you, Lennon. Bellamy asked for time and I gave it to her. Unfortunately that meant keeping it from you.
Lennon
I can’t believe you’d do that.
Rhys
Tell me you wouldn’t do whatever it takes to respect your husband and protect him for as long as you can. Tell me that truthfully, and if that’s not the case then I’ll apologize.
Lennon
That’s not fair.
Rhys
Like hell it’s not. She’s my wife, Lennon. It’s my job to protect her and thanks to me and our fucked up family, and I suspect especially thanks to our fucked up father she’s been thrown to the wolves.
Lennon
Is she okay?
Rhys
Not really. But she will be. I’ll make damn well sure of it.
Lennon
Fine. I’m still mad at you, but I understand why you did it. What do you need from me?
Rhys
I need you to stay in Kroydon Hills and not give any statements until I find out what the hell happened and how this was leaked. I’ll call you once I know the plan.
For what it’s worth, I am sorry I couldn’t tell you.
Lennon
For what it’s worth, I’d put Maddox above everyone else in the world so I can understand you doing the same for Bellamy. You’re a dick for doing it though.
Rhys
Stay safe, little sister.
Lennon
