Chapter 102

• "What are you doing?" I narrow my eyes at her, I am not really angry, but I need to scare her a little if it will help snap her out of her crazed raging trance. I didn't sign up for this when I married her. I have never been one for drama. I know I might seem very fucking hypocritical with that line of reasoning, but it is the truth, I didn't sign up for this.
• "You are not leaving until you tell me who the fuck she is!" Christine is unafraid. She stands her ground, barricading the door with her body. I wonder if she is not cold, standing half naked in her underwear in the cold room. But she looks determined.
• "I will say it once, Christine and I will not repeat myself..." I start, leaning down to grab her shoulders and stare directly into her eyes, it is easy to put up this front now because I have managed to tuck my guilt neatly deep down, so far down, I am able to even work up an anger about the way she is behaving, "There is no one. I am sorry I was unreachable for the whole weekend, I didn't know how the time passed me by. I am here now and I will make it up to you." I say, keeping the tight edge to my voice.
