Three years was a long time to feel guilty for something that wasn’t your fault in the first place. Mackenzie would have laughed at the irony in other circumstances. Maybe if he wasn’t being released today. Her mother royally screwed both of their lives before disappearing without so much as a goodbye or thank you. Back when her mother had been dating Ryan, he’d taken the blame and even gone to jail in her place. After he got sent away, her mother took off leaving her to feel indebted to the man who sat in a cold cell day in and day out. She’d even taken to writing back and forth with him but could never go as far as going to see him. That just felt like a step too far. Although now it would be unavoidable. He was due by any time now. Her blue eyes scanned her living room, wondering if she should have done more to prepare.
