Chapter 17

The drive home was a long one as I took my time to ponder about everything that had happened today. When had I become such a person that used people's weaknesses against them? When did I become so malevolent?

I had finally reached the hotel but then I didn't feel like going straight to bed. The night seemed to be glowing today for no reason and the stars a bit shinier.

They might have been of help in lifting my spirits but as I stared up from my spot outside my car, a feeling of overwhelming sadness gripped me and I almost fell to the ground if not for the support I gained from holding unto the car door.

I was remembering too much about something and someone I wished to forget and throw out of my mind completely. I had thought after all these years, I would have been able to be immune to it but discreetly that addiction creeped in slowly and silently.
