I never imagined that the honesty I'd offered out of love would become a blade. A boomerang sharpened with my own confessions, hurled back to bury itself in my chest.
They weren't just destroying me. They were dragging my dead mother through the mud.
Something inside me snapped. The pain didn't disappear. It transformed. Every shred of heartbreak hardened into white-hot fury.
I walked up to Curtis and slapped him across the face with everything I had.
"Curtis Fox. You got what you wanted. We're done."
"I hope you never regret this. And don't you dare come looking for me."
"Because I will never forgive you."
