Let’s Talk
The next day, Cory was happy to learn that his plan was working. Bill came outside and faced the waiting crowd. Heather looked worried, but Cory squeezed her hand reassuringly. “It’ll be okay, honey,” he murmured.
“Okay, Cory, I’ve had enough of this. Let’s talk. I need you all gone so I can run my business so just tell me what you want,” said Bill coldly. Cory stood up, tall and proud. He was doing this for his kids and he had the strength of his community behind him. He knew Makayla would have been proud.
