Every good thing comes to an end eventually, but it must happen for a person to move on and get better at life. That's what I've told myself constantly for over a seven weeks now, getting ready to go and leave, for the better. As the days go on, life gets worse, as this happens my days blend more and more into each other but stay long and boring, the gang has grown more and more absent in the house, they've grown distant and cold to one another, and they have started to become aggressive and easily agitated in their work and at home.

Yet… even after all that security, I felt vulnerable and defeated as the memories of the people being slaughtered and sheer demonic violence rushed into my head as I leafed through the burnt pages of that book.

Something hot and ugly twisted beneath my ribs. Not rage exactly. Worse. Recognition. “Me,” I said. His silence confirmed it.

Amazing how it’s the small things that make the biggest impact. Regardless, no good deed goes unpunished, and it’s sheer dumb luck that the most feared—if not loathed—territory caught up with the rest a decade or two after the fact. It hurts and it helps.

Just when I was getting a buzz and able to mope properly.

She now shone brilliantly, reclaiming the self she had lost. … While Winter's office buzzed with quiet triumph and satisfaction, the chairman's office was a complete wreck. It looked like a bomb had gone off—shards of glass, papers scattered, the clatter of objects striking the floor. Nigel guzzled alcohol in frustration while Tony scrambled to clean up the mess. "Fuck that woman! How dare she mess with Yvonne and humiliate me in front of the executives? She'll pay for this!" Tony asked worriedly, "Mr. Everhart, could it be that Ms. Everhart found out we sent those debt collectors to her doorstep last time?"

If we were to get back together, there would be no closed doors, no fear of being seen, and what we have would not be wrong anymore. We would be free to love each other the way we wanted. But I’m scared it would all fall apart. And I wouldn’t be able to handle it. I slip my hands from beneath Cole’s. Then I take a sip from my coffee to calm down.
