Christian thought his wife would be happier about Hunsacher being behind bars. She had been distracted ever since the arrest though she tried her best to act like everything was normal again.
He wished there was more he could do. The day he was given a life sentence with no possibility of parole, all Avery could do was cry in his arms. She couldn't even try to put all of her thoughts into words and they poured out through her tears instead.
She had gotten what she wanted! So why wasn't she happy? Why wasn't it enough?
He asked her about it one day when they were on the way home from dinner with his family. She had engaged with everyone like usual but as soon as they left she was quiet and he knew something was wrong.
"Avery? Can you tell me what you're feeling right now?"
