It was clear to both Carl and Jules that Dewey had no place in Corrine's life. The distance that had grown over the years would remain, ensuring Dewey would not disrupt her peace. They were united in this resolution. Jules sat, his eyes scanning the room, instinctively searching for Corrine in the crowd.
Rachel's gentle voice interrupted his gaze. "Six o'clock." Turning to look, Jules spotted Corrine seated in a corner with Nate. The corner was discreet, a place not just anyone could occupy.
