Chapter 13

• "Babe, seriously, everything you went through yesterday... Instead of discussing it with me, you just came home and went straight to bed. I understand it's not easy to talk about such things, but you should have let me know. I would have confronted that jerk and given him a piece of my mind. How could he even dare to pull such a stunt on you?" Nelly's words hissed, leaving me with a sigh.
• "I couldn't bring myself to say anything at the moment because I was overwhelmed with disbelief. It was hard to process that something like that could happen to me. Plus, I wasn't in the right frame of mind to discuss it. The memories were still fresh, and all I wanted was some rest to clear my head," I explained, understanding the concern in Nelly's sigh.
