I instantly broke down, my voice trembling. "Just because they're easy to talk to, you think you can hurt them again and again? You promised to visit them, but you always broke your promises. Seeing that they didn't blame you, you thought you could even cancel the wedding halfway?"
"I'll go apologize to them right now," he said. "I promise to arrange a grand wedding soon. That should be enough, right?"
He thought he was giving me an easy way out, and I should just accept it.
He was wrong.
Dead wrong.
I scoffed, "No need."
Every word from him made me sick.
Seeing him blocking the elevator, I turned and headed for the stairwell.
Behind me, Carrie called out, "Norma, stop right there. If you're really running away from home, I'll admire your guts. But you must leave Zackary's things behind. You've been eating his food, drinking his drinks, and using his things for years. If you have the guts, don't take anything and earn your own way."
She clung to Zackary's arm again, acting like the hostess of the house.
I shot back, "These are all my things. Not a single one belongs to Zackary."
"I don't believe you," Carrie sneered.
She turned to look at Zackary.
Zackary stared at me with a poker face.
