Chương 69: I'm a Bad Person

I was so embroiled in my bitter, self-reflective thoughts as I walked that I didn't notice the subject of said thoughts was standing a few feet in front of me until he spoke up.

"Katie, I was wondering where you got off to! I think the snow has been cleared enough for us to go riding, do you want to go?"

Al looked happy to see me and had a relaxed smile on his face. The very sight of him brought me to tears after the latest revelations from Marcy. I lost control of my emotions and launched myself at him, dangling from his neck since this body was so tiny.

"Al!" I drew out his name with a sob.

He stiffened momentarily in surprise before tightening the hug so I didn't fall. "What's wrong? You're acting like you thought I died or something."

I couldn't speak as the tears rolled down my face. My thoughts and feelings were all tangled up in knots.
