When the Truth Cuts Deep
"D-Don't act like this, Chucky. You're scaring me."
She started weeping, but Chuck wouldn't fall for it anymore. He slapped her hard and snarled, "You're still putting on an act to lie to me! I'd like to see how long you can keep this up!"
I watched as things played out. Honestly, I couldn't understand why Chuck had believed something that superstitious so easily when he was supposed to be a man of science. Perhaps the more one learned of something, the more one feared it.
Chuck released Valerie and came to me. She trembled violently on the couch. Chuck said, "Lend me your phone, Steph."
