Channing gazed at my innocence. When I asked him why he lost control over his anger, I genuinely did not know about it. But he had a faint smile, as if I should have understood by now.

"It angered me for what you suffered," came his disclosure. I saw his jaw click before he continued. "I wanted to remain calm like I did when Hailey did a number on Sam. Like how I always kept it under the hood because the emotions can cascade inside me in a wrong way, but it would be a lie if I said I didn't want to smash Hailey into the ground, then and there"

The anger in his eyes surfaced again, and I could see how every cell in his body struggled to contain it. His hand went through his hair for the umpteenth time now.
