Chapter 32

• CHRIS’ POV
• The tension between Judy and me had reached an unbearable peak. Days had passed since our last confrontation, yet the echoes of our bitter words lingered in my mind.
• We avoided each other as if the mere sight of one another would reignite the fury that had burned so brightly. It was a stalemate of resentment and guilt. Judy was angry, and rightfully so—I had crossed every line, insulted her dignity, and humiliated her in a way I could never take back.
