Just Between Us

(2021)
A novel by Kassy Tayler

Don\x27t look at her, don\x27t look at her, don\x27t look at her.<\/i> I haven\x27t seen her since she got arrested. I try not to look and I don\x27t want anyone in the courtroom to know I\x27m looking. Instead I look down at the silk tie I got for the homecoming dance but let my eyes dart back up and hope that my hair hides where I\x27m looking. She looks a lot older than I remember. Harsher. Thinner. Her mouth\-\-God the things she did with that mouth\-\-is set in a frown and lines have formed around it. She\x27s only twenty\-eight but now she looks forty. She\x27s staring at me. Like she\x27s trying to tell me something. What am I supposed to do? Lie? We got caught doing it. There\x27s no way I can lie my way out of that. Her douchebag of a husband sits behind her. Asshole. If he hadn\x27t been such a jerk, hitting her and always telling her what a loser she is, then she wouldn\x27t have needed me. No matter how many ways they spin it, I was not the victim. I knew exactly what I was doing. I take a deep breath and remember the first time I met Mrs. Anderson... Monica<\/i>. It\x27s time for me to tell my<\/i> side of the story.<\/p>
