Daniel walked to the front door and opened it.
“But I’m telling you now. Our friendship is over.”
Mark’s jaw dropped.
“But I’m telling you now. Our friendship is over.”
“Daniel.”
“You’re not welcome in my home anymore.”
Mark looked toward Evan.
“What about him? That’s my kid. You kept us apart once, and now you’re doing it again.”
Daniel looked at Evan.
Evan stepped closer. He looked Mark in the eye and shook his head. “I have a dad — my stepfather. I don’t think I want a relationship with you, not after what you did to my mom.”
“You’re not welcome in my home anymore.”
Mark looked like he wanted to argue.
“You heard the boy,” Daniel said. “Don’t make this harder than it needs to be, Mark.”
Mark walked out without another word.
Daniel closed the door and leaned against it.
Finally, Evan wiped his face.
“My mom trusted you. And now I understand why.”
