Up until yesterday, at least. Now I’ve somehow managed to acquire one hell of a complicated woman. It’s upending my life. Invading my home and my job. Forcing me to ask questions I’m not sure I like the answers to, and revisit memories I’ve done my best to ignore.

Having Sybil here might be a terrible fucking thing for my own well-being, but I’m going to have to suck it up. Because I’m pretty sure, left to her own devices, she’ll end up getting hurt.

Or worse.

But as long as I stick close and keep her reined in, everything will be fine.

Bradshaw Family Group Chat

Tucker

Saw Mom headed to Walker’s house with two bags full of food. Anyone want to start placing bets?

Tobias

Are you seriously insinuating Mom is trying to set Walker up with the woman who lied to us about who she really is, and who may or may not be responsible for my wife being shot at?

Trevor

I second that.

Tucker

Walker has a woman in his house for the first time in… fuck, probably ever. If you think our mother would let this opportunity pass by, you haven’t been paying attention.

Titus

Even Deidre Bradshaw has limits.

Tucker

She’s managed to find new homes for four women in trouble. Sybil is nothing if not a woman in trouble. Plus, she seems to have a thing for Walker, and that might never happen again.

Mom

You do know this is the family chat, right?

Tucker

…

Titus

…

Tobias

I didn’t say shit.

Bradshaw Brothers Group Chat

Titus

Tucker, I don’t have time for you to get us all in fucking trouble. The twins both just shit their pants, are covered in what I hope to God is chocolate, and my wife just sent me a text requesting I put her through the mattress later. I’ve got a lot on my damn plate without you getting our mother wound up.

Tobias

That was a lot of words at once.
