Chapitre 8: Chapter 8

“What happened between you and Chris?” Darren asked.

I shrugged. “I don’t know. I really don’t. One night he told me our relationship wasn’t working and a week later I was back at my mother’s house. I’m still shell-shocked.”

“You didn’t have any clue this was coming?”

“No. I thought things were good between us. I mean, Chris isn’t always the most talkative guy, but he usually lets me know when he’s unhappy about something. The breakup totally blindsided me.”

“Was he seeing someone else?”

I shook my head. “I don’t think so. Chris wasn’t a cheater and neither was I.”

“My mother told me your parents didn’t like him.”

“They didn’t.”

“Why?”
