Chapter 23

• EVELYN
• Please, someone just help me. I’m spiraling. Do something, anything just to save me. Pour ice water on my head, yell at me, slap me, for God’s sake! Maybe that’ll bring me back to my senses. Or maybe nothing will, because I can’t seem to stop myself.
• Is it so bad to want to run back to my brother? To be in his space, his arms, and his life again? Every nerve in my body screams that it’s wrong, that I’m pathetic and obsessed, but I don’t care. I don’t care about dignity or pride right now.
