While she’s back there, I look around the store and spot Wolf. He looked defeated and broken, slumped inside the pickup truck parked out front. Why was he still here? ‘Go to him, he’s sad.’ He’s sad? He’s the one who caused it, not me. I was upset that the voice had been pushing me from the start to hear him out, but she didn’t understand the slippery road that this led to. We clearly can't trust him. He’s unreliable. Why should I waste my time on someone I know who will only let me down again nd again? ‘Mistakes happen, and second chances are important. That is what she always said!’ The voice was referencing mum’s words. ‘Give second chances, but know your worth enough not to give thirds.’ Bethany came back out at the same time the door chimed, announcing a new customer's arrival
