Despite his reservations, Rhett took a job at the local police department. Very quickly, he became friends with his partner, Justine Keaton.
While Rhett getting a job helped financially, the house suffered. Stacks of newspapers and dishes accumulated, and no longer were quality leftovers available in the fridge. The children began to live on cereal and canned soup.
Michael Bachelor, Bella’s brother and friend of Spencer, invited him over to visit one afternoon- not long after Spencer had transitioned. And…wow…there she was. Bella had transitioned. Spencer realized how much he missed hanging out with Bella.
It was just like old times again, Bella & Spencer were hanging out every day afterschool.
