Chapter 33: CHAPTER 33

A thousand ideas flashed through my head in that little period. This needed to end. We were at a point where we had to turn around. For fuck's sake, it was ruining every aspect of my life: my work, my sleep, my sanity.

She shouted back, her voice cutting through the air, "The hell I can!" She hurriedly inserted her key as she entered her room and struggled to open the door.

We locked eyes for a few second before she ran inside and tried to shut me out as I arrived just as the door slammed open. I pushed my hand forward without thinking, stopping the door from shutting and sending it crashing into the wall behind.
