Chapter 70 6 The Breaking Point

• Carl came over on a quiet Wednesday afternoon.
• He had been avoiding me for almost a week after that kiss. No texts. No calls. He even skipped two of the usual hangouts with David. I knew why. He was fighting it. But I was tired of waiting.
• I heard the knock on the door and my heart jumped. I knew it was him. David had stepped out twenty minutes earlier to get some car parts from the store. He told me he would be back in an hour.
