““My mother folds her arms and taps her foot. “I won’t have him under my roof, Katherine. He’s not welcome here.” And this is why you should never complain to your family about your significant other. They don’t know him like you do, and they sure as hell don’t love him like you do. So they will never—ever—forgive him like you will. Even though I can see where my mom is coming from, I’ve kind of got a lot on my plate at the moment. And she’s really not helping the situation. “If that’s the case, then I won’t be staying here either.” My mom looks shocked and her arms drop to her sides. And Delores says, “Hey, Moron—” Drew looks her way. “Yes, you. This is the part where you’re supposed to say you don’t want to come between Katie and her mother. That you’ll go stay at a hotel.” Drew snorts. “Guess I’m not that chivalrous. I’m staying with Kate. Where she goes, I go.” Dee smirks. “Aww, it’s like Jack and Rose on the Titanic.” She raises her hand. “Who else is hoping Douche Bag ends up the same way Jack did?””
