Chapter 20

I finally woke up around one in the afternoon. The sleep had been the most pleasant part of the entire weekend. The twins had vanished from my mind and dreams. I forced any and all thoughts of them from my head, leaving me with a dull, sometimes sharp pain in my chest. It felt like a chunk of my soul was missing, but dwelling on what could have been wouldn't help. My plan to leave was officially set into motion. I would leave Friday night. That gave me a week to work and pick up my check Friday morning. I had a little over twenty-five grand in my bank account. While it wouldn't sustain me forever, it would be enough until I found a job.
