“What if he calls” Avery inquired. Melanie looks at him and snorts, “He wouldn’t call.. hes too lazy.. he would rather text because, its one sided and he doesn’t have to hear from me..until moments later. He avoids confrontation.. it’s always about him.. I am just a detail.. I don’t have any feelings or needs.” She admits.

“That is pretty screwed up.. he’s your brother he should care about you..” Avery offered. “Yeah well he doesn’t.. the only thing he cares about is himself, and what’s good for him, what makes him look good. She replies.

Anyway, I am sick of talking about Ethan.. I do enough of that at home.. let’s clean up here and hang out at the beach for a lil bit before Miguel comes to pick us up. Melanie advises, fully eager to leave the previous subject.

“Yeah.. I haven’t been to the Hampton’s in quite some time.. Maybe I should enjoy it while I am here” Avery admits.

Melanie clears the table and cleans up the kitchen. Avery leaves her to go out on the deck and enjoy the weather.
