Chapter 57
“So I don’t know what else to do. Tyler can’t bring himself to accept who he is and deal with the consequences. It happened like this ten years ago and it’s happening again. I guess I feel the only way for either of us to get a life for ourselves is for me to be out of the picture. Truth is we do love each other. And our being in the same town and not able to be together is only gonna be torture for both of us.”
Joe was quiet for a while. Then he said, “There’s gotta be a way to make Tyler see he’s being an asshole.”
Ward sighed softly. “If there is, I sure wish I knew what it was.”
They sat together for a bit longer, then Joe said, “We better get to bed. Cows are gonna be ready in a few hours even if we aren’t.”
As Joe got to the door, Ward said, “You won’t say anything to Mom and Dad will you? I don’t want to worry ‘em.”
