Jay’s POV
I have no idea why I just blurted out about my mother, I never spoke about it to anyone. Cassidy was obviously aware, but she knew not to mention my mum to me. My dad had been heartbroken when she died, and I firmly put the disastrous relationships he had fallen into afterwards, down to her death. It was like he was desperate to find another version of my mum and refused to see who those women really were, only craving the love of someone like he had loved my mother.
I wasn’t lying when I said that I was glad that my dad found Cassidy’s mum, they were perfect for each other, and I secretly liked to think that my mum had led them to each other so that my dad could be happy. Maybe she also led me to Cassidy, knowing I needed a best friend as much as my dad needed someone to love
