Chapter 615

• Once Adelie had left my house, it was like I could breathe again. Her scent faded, and when I switched my emotions off again, I could sort through all the conflicting emotions I’d had since saving her. I felt guilty because it felt like I’d cheated on Kari.
• I couldn’t disrespect her memory like that, and I wouldn’t. I’d cheated on her enough while we’d been married, even if it hadn’t been by choice, I’d still done it, and hurt her. I had broken Kari, and it didn’t matter what anyone said, I was responsible for her death.
• I stayed away from Kiran’s house, and every single time he phoned me to invite me to dinner, I came up with an excuse. That dizzying falling feeling I had when I’d looked into her eyes at that house in Sterling was exactly what I didn’t want.
