Luke POV:

She let me kiss her knowing she was about to marry someone else.

"Is it KJ?"
"No. It's Dak."

She's about to marry that peice of shit. The guy who wanted her when I was with her.

"Please, don't marry him."
"Luke, you can't just waltz back into my life and tell me to leave the guy whose been there for me and Kari."
"It's your fault that I wasn't there!"

I saw that Kira was fighting back tears.

"I'm sorry."

She continued to look down at her hands.

"Kira, I'm-"

I was interrupted by Dak coming through the door.

"Hey babe."
"Heyy."

I watched as Kira got up to kiss him. When they pulled apart, he finally noticed me.

"Luke. What are you doing here?"
"Kira invited me.", I said with a smirk on my face.
"You did?"
"Babe, we need to talk."

Kira pulled him into the kitchen. I went to the window and saw Kari playing soccer with Kaneshia and a little boy. I was surprised at how fast she could run.

"I taught her how to play soccer."

I turned around to see Dak sitting on the couch behind me. I joined him.

"She's really fast."
"Yeah, she is. So, when are you gonna take her away?"
"What?"
"Kari. When are you going to get full custody of her? Me and Kira don't really need her around since we're starting a new family."
"I'm not getting full custody of Kari. Me and Kira have already discussed Co-parenting"
"Well you should."

He walked outside. After a few minutes, Kira walked in and sat on the couch.

"Kira. You can't marry Dak. He wants to get rid of Kari."
"Wow. That's the best you can think of."
"I'm telling the truth. He said he didn't want her around."
"Dak loves Kari. He wouldn't send her away."
"But Kir-"
"I think you should go."

I didn't even try to say anything. I just left.
