That night, they lay in bed, and he was spooning her back, his arm lying over her waist.
She was happier than she ever thought she could be.If you’d asked her a few months ago if Blake would be the answer to her well-being, she would have scoffed.
Now she couldn’t see herself with anyone else besides him.
She thanked God for every minute they had together, and she wouldn’t let anything get in the way of that.
Chapter Seventeen
Hanna was going throughthe grocery store checkout when she heard a voice behind her she wished never to hear again.
“Hey, there’s my baby sis.Isn’t she looking fancy?”
Hanna rolled her eyes and looked over her shoulder.“Hello, Shasha.”
“Oh, you’re all high and mighty now.Too good for us?”
“Actually, the people of this town are very nice.You’re trash and an embarrassment to the family.But then you always were.”
“Shut up, bitch,” Shasha hissed.“You were always so hoity-toity.”
Why did she have to do this in front of people?Hanna smiled apologetically at the clerk as she paid her bill, and then she answered her sister.
Hanna laughed.“No, sis, I was just smart and worked hard.You could have done the same thing, but you were like our father.Lazy, selfish, and worthless.Getting by and whining about working, or making everyone else’s lives horrible, just to make yourself feel better.You know, it’s not too late.Stop spreading your legs, get a decent job, and maybe take some college classes.”
Shasha sneered.“No fucking way.I’m doing just fine.”
Hanna rolled her eyes, grabbed her bag of groceries, and walked out.She hoped the conversation was over, but silently groaned when she heard her sister behind her.
“Hey, I heard about the house.That’s too bad, isn’t it?”
Hanna turned, saw her sister’s pleased, cruel look, and smiled brightly.
“Don’t be.I was going to burn the thing down, but first, I had some stuff to go through and wasn’t looking forward to it.Whoever vandalized the place did me a huge favor.I got everything I wanted before some idiot did the vandalism.”
She watched her sister turn red and heard her growl.
