I stumbled back home, but Avalynn didn't come running up to me with her usual bright smile.
That was when it really hit me. I realized that my little Avalynn was truly gone.
I cried for an entire day and night.
It wasn't until the cake on the table had melted that Crowley finally showed up.
"Where did that little brat go? Is she playing dead again? Megan was kind enough to cook for her, and she was still so picky, almost pushing Megan into a depression! You better take her to apologize to Megan!"
I thought, "You still don't know, do you? Avalynn is really gone now.
She's gone from me... forever."
Crowley tossed a bag of leftovers onto the table.
"See how kind Megan is? She worried you two might be hungry and insisted I bring this food back for you."
I glanced at the food he had brought back.
All of it was blazingly spicy.
When I opened it, the chili fumes made me cough uncontrollably.
I covered my mouth and nose and pulled out the divorce agreement.
"Crowley, let's get a divorce."
Crowley stared at me for a few seconds, then furiously flipped the table over.
Hot chili oil splattered all over me, burning my skin.
