"Katelyn, you are either going to get out of this car and walk in there like a normal person or I could carry you. The choice is yours."
Katelyn turned her head and her nose was inches away from my own, "If you so much as touch me so help me god, I...

I couldn't help but feel hurt when we got home and Lucas used work as an excuse to get away from me. That rebuke stung more than I would have liked to admit.
Monica seemed just as surprised by Lucas' behavior as I was. "This is always a difficult time for him but I thought having you there would be easier for him."
I frowned. "For all of them. I never knew Justin but I can see he meant a lot to them."
Monica sighed before throwing an arm around my shoulder. "Let's grab some coffee, then you can tell me all about your weekend away."
I followed Monica into the house, all the way to the kitchen. My mind kept drifting back to yesterday. I couldn't understand how Lucas just shut himself off like that and I actually wished I knew how. Then, I wouldn't have to be so damn confused.
I wanted to talk to someone, but everyone I knew in Silver Point was a close friend to Lucas. There was no way I was going to discuss him with his own friends and family.
For the first time since coming to Silver Point, I felt truly alone.
I dropped down at the breakfast counter and a minute later, Monica handed me a steaming cup of coffee. "So, how was the camping? I know it's not something you normally do."
I couldn't help but smile. Despite the awkwardness between Lucas and me, the weekend itself was a lot of fun. "It was amazing. This place is so beautiful, I almost never want to leave."
"Do you want to stay?" Monica asked before taking a sip of coffee.
"I don't know. I like it here but it's not my home."
"You know, home isn't necessarily where you were born. It's the place where you want to be at the end of a long day. Silver Point is that for me. I've lived and lost a lot here, but it's my little slice of heaven."
