757 V2 ch229 (Jeremy POV- after)

I rinsed my mouth with water again, spitting it out next to my car. Then I leaned against my car, exhausted. I wasn't even there for an hour but I felt like I had ran a marathon. I looked up at Wayne. "What do I do now?"

Wayne reached out and put his hand on my shoulder. "You do what you need to do. What you want to do."

"I don't know." I closed my eyes tight, trying to get that woman out of my head. 

"How about you come home with us then?" He offered. "We can make it home in time for lunch with Mary and the rest of the boys."

I shook my head. "I don't think I can look at Jake right now."

"You can't let what she said, get to you." Wayne kept me steady with his hand. "Why would you give her words any value?"
