Since finding out about June, John had not felt like leaving his apartment. All he could seem to do was sit around and think about all of the fun he'd had with her and how that was all over now.
Over, he thought. It was so final and there was no going back. He thought about how stupid he had been, falling head over heels for her without really checking into her past or even listening to his own sister when she had tried to tell him about June.
He felt awful when he recalled the confrontation he'd had with MaryKay. She had been so hurt and devastated when she'd realized who he was. And although he hadn't known anything about MaryKay's very existence, it hadn't made him feel that great to know how he had hurt the teen. It had been unintentional but hurtful toward her just the same.
He now speculated about Lacey and how this would have affected her had she been exposed to June and gotten close to her. She would be devastated right now to know the truth. At least he had been careful with Lacey's heart even if he hadn't been guarding his own as he should have.
A knock sounded on the door downstairs and he ignored it. He didn't want to see anyone or explain what had happened. But Olivia came upstairs anyway and sat down on the sofa near him.
