“I Stepped In to Protect My Friend’s Mom—Later She Held My Hand And Confessed...
I never thought one phone call from my best friend would put me in a restaurant parking lot at 8:30 at night, watching his mom sit alone at a table meant for two. But there I was, Jake Calloway, 27 years old, heart pounding, hands on the steering wheel, trying to talk myself out of going inside. And then I saw him. The guy she had been set up with stood up from his chair, dropped some cash on the table without even looking at her, and walked out the door like she was nobody. Like she was nothing. Linda Mercer sat there for a moment with her hands folded in her lap, staring at the empty seat across from her. Then she lowered her head. That was all it took. I got out of the car.
