"And what did you throw at Azazel?" Evie added, her expression remained stoic.

How could she have let her own fears and doubts cloud her judgment in such a critical moment?

 

As she looked around at her friends, their faces etched with a mix of bewilderment and suspicion, Pamela felt a knot form in her stomach.

 

"I-I . . ." Pamela stammered, at a loss for words as she struggled to explain herself.
