Chapter 22 Furious

• Dan was furious, for he had never been humiliated before. The heat got to me? No, you got to me. He felt like killing someone out of rage, but he couldn't do anything given his circumstances.
• Madeline spent a lot of time calming Buddy down before he finally stopped crying. She sat on the couch while the boy was in her arms, hugging her. The crying had stopped, but the sniffling hadn't.
• Sebastian was heartbroken. He sat beside Madeline and patted his back lovingly. "I went to check on his situation last night. Buddy seems to be shorter than his peers."
