When Larry leaves the house for Montana, Jessie arrives at Bethany’s house. But Larry forgets his wallet at home
Larry Walks Out
Larry zipped his bag without looking back.
The house felt tense. Bethany stood near the doorway, arms crossed, pretending she didn’t care. Larry avoided eye contact. He knew if he looked at her, the argument would start all over again.
This wasn’t just a trip — it was an escape.
After the Door Slam
The door closed. Silence followed.
Bethany let out a breath she didn’t realize she was holding. Her mind raced — Montana, the baby, Lynette, and now being left behind. She told herself she didn’t care, but the anger burned deep.
Being told “NO” was something Bethany never accepted.
An Unexpected Visitor
The doorbell rang.
Bethany frowned. When she opened the door, Jessie stood there — calm, collected, and clearly not surprised.
“I figured you’d be alone,” Jessie said softly.
Bethany’s eyes narrowed — this wasn’t a coincidence.
Words Like Knives
The two women sat across from each other, the air thick.
Jessie spoke carefully, but every word felt calculated. She mentioned Montana, the baby, and how peace was important. Bethany laughed bitterly.
“Peace?” Bethany snapped. “They never wanted peace with me.”
Larry Turns Back
Larry reached for his wallet… and froze.
It wasn’t there. His stomach dropped. With a sigh, he turned the car around, unaware of what he was about to walk into.
Some things are forgotten for a reason.
The Worst Timing
The door opened — Larry stepped inside.
His eyes moved from Bethany… to Jessie.
No one spoke.
This was the moment everything changed.
FINAL WORD
Larry realized this wasn’t about Montana anymore. It was about lines drawn, choices made, and consequences long overdue.
And Bethany? She was already planning her next move.
