The Last Day
“Despite what he'd told his uncle about selling to Flash Dibble, she knew Ward was deeply hurt and torn, and that he wouldn't say that to his uncle. Instead, he would suffer without venting, as usual. She watched for several minutes before she could stand it no longer and stormed outside.When she approached, Mark looked up at her and made the mistake of smiling one of his patented isn't-the-world-an-oyster smiles.“Unk,” she said. “I just wanted to say a couple of things.”“Sure, Natasha,” he repl...ied. “You can say anything to me. We're family.”“Family. I'm glad you feel that way.” She saw Ward turn his eyes out toward the woods.“Gambling is a sickness and I'm going to get help so I never do it again,” Mark added.“Okay … Unk, I refuse to dismiss this by agreeing that you have a disease you should treat, and just letting it go. What you did is unforgivable, because Ward loves and trusts you like a boy trusts his father and you repaid that by betraying him in the worst way.MoreLess
