Chapter 84 Book 2

• The next morning dawned with a heavy weight on Chris's shoulders. He had spent the night outside Evie's room, unable to sleep as he listened to the sound of her sobs echoing through the door. Sitting on the cold floor, he couldn't help but feel the weight of his actions, the pain he had caused her.
• As the first rays of sunlight filtered through the curtains, Chris knew that he had to make amends. He rose and prepared breakfast, pouring his remorse and regret into each dish. With a heavy heart, he carried the tray to Evie's door and set it down gently, his hand lingering for a moment before he turned and walked away.
