If he hadn’t stopped me from leaving the previous night, Natalie would never have been with John, and things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.
To be frank, I had never gotten this angry at Michael before. After saying my piece, the line went silent for a long time. When he spoke again, his voice had grown icier.
