161-The Wounded Helanie

Norman:

Kaye had returned while we were having dinner with our mom. I could take just one look at Kaye's face and tell he wasn't happy, though he was trying so hard to appear so.

Why couldn't he just back down?

But I couldn't force him. However, if he came to me asking for help, I wouldn't be able to deny him.

Even though I hate Helanie to my core.

If only that girl would just leave us alone and get out of our lives.

"It was an amazing night. Kaye gifted me this bracelet," Kesha said as she sat down, showing our mother the diamond bracelet Kaye had given her. It was picked by my mother, and she used Kaye's card to pay for it.

Kaye's only contribution was showing up for the date.

"Aw! My son has great taste," Mom said, faking her enthusiasm as she did her little shoulder dance. But the moment she complimented Kaye, his face lit up.
