Chapter 41 No Emotion (Two)

• They leave and I’m left alone. I don’t know where Samantha is, but I’m glad she’s not around to talk my ear off. I feel a little guilty for thinking this, especially because she’s just trying to help, and after all, it was because of her they started looking for us when they did. If not, who knows what might have happened? I’ll try to be nicer to her from now on and not be irritated when she talks too much.
• For now, though, the silence is good for me, and I spend my time alone thinking about Charles and wondering why he lied about wanting a family and being in a relationship. It annoys me to think that I was so gullible that I believed everything he said, and even opened my stupid wide mouth to tell him things about me.
• He must have been secretly laughing at me and must have thought me to be foolish. The more I think about it, the angrier I get until in the end, I can’t bear it any longer. I need to confront him.
