" So how Maz ? " Dwayne questioned I sighed
" She moved out and took Marco with her " Dewayne side eyed me— he knew I was lying
" Who the fuck she moved in with— why the fuck you ain't stop her ? " I knew Dewayne was getting irritated— Dewayne had major anger issues had to call the police on him a couple times from hitting on Angie
