Chapter 37 I Miss You

• As the bathroom door clicked shut behind Michelle, Greg remained frozen in place, the weight of the moment crashing down on him. He glanced at the shards of glass scattered across the floor, each piece reflecting a distorted version of his turmoil. Blood trickled from his hand, but the physical pain paled in comparison to the emotional storm raging inside him.
• He took a deep breath, trying to regain some semblance of control. The silence in the bathroom felt suffocating, amplifying the chaos in his mind. He needed to process what had just happened—his outburst, Michelle's unsettling proximity, and the heartbreaking glimpse of Bethany's hurt.
• Greg moved to the sink, his reflection fragmented in the mirror, much like his state of mind. He turned on the tap, watching the water swirl down the drain, as if it could carry away his guilt. But deep down, he knew he had to confront the reality of the situation.
