Not a drunk. Her father. “It’s Dad. ” Anna hissed. “Good news. ” Susan? Her sister? He was calling at six in the morning with good news about her sister? Susan hated their father. And with good reason. ” Fifty thousand dollars and the guy was outta there. Anna felt sick again just remembering. So what could be good? “I’m taking her to rehab.
