22 JULY ONE MONTH EARLIER Parker nodded once. “Uh, yeah…I told her.” “Of course, you did,” he grumbled, throwing his arms in the air. “Uh, I see I’ve come at a bad time,” Parker said, easing back out of the room. Ramsey stared at her menacingly, his anger holding strong. “Wait a minute,” He stopped her in her tracks. “Yes?” she squeaked out. Lexi felt the weight of the situation permeate the room. What Parker had done by telling her wasn’t just some small act of self-righteousness or pity, it was wrecking irreparable damage through their relationship. She couldn’t just walk out of the room. “Why can’t you just stay out of my f*****g business?” Ramsey snapped. “I think she had a right to know,” Parker told him. Ramsey shook his head slowly. “Well, I’m so glad you told the story.”
