#Chapter 72: Making Amends
Karl
I step out of Abby’s office, my heart still pounding. It’s like a battlefield in there with emotional shrapnel
all over the place.
But I’m not naive enough to think I’m a mere bystander, oh no. I’m pretty sure I’m the d amn cannon that
fired the first shot.
“Big moment, huh?” My wolf’s voice resonates through my mind. I’m so focused on the situation
between Chloe and Abby that it almost took me by surprise.
“You could say that,” I respond. “Chloe’s not exactly my biggest fan.”
“Well, maybe this is your chance,” he suggests. “Just like you did with John. Bury the hatchet, put aside
your differences for Abby’s sake. Start over.”
“I hope so,” I reply, running a hand through my hair. “But Chloe’s different. She’s never liked me, not
even at the beginning.”
I recall a camping trip years ago, back when Abby and I were still married. Chloe was there, along with
their other friend Leah. A mix-up with the tents meant we all had to share one. G od, that was a disaster.
The memory plays out like an old film reel in my mind. Leah, as always, was as chill as ever about the
situation while Abby was fairly indifferent. But for Chloe and I, it felt like the end of the world. To share a
tent with each other? I knew for a fact that Chloe would have rather died, because she said so herself.
That night, the tent was cramped, the tension palpable. Of course, Chloe and I ended up arguing about
something st upid—how to properly set up a sleeping bag or some such nonsense.
It eventually devolved into an all-out brawl. Chloe threw a folding chair. I chased her up the tree. You
know, the usual, until Leah and Abby had to step in. They were both in stitches over the ridiculous
situation, but it was real as hell for Chloe and I. We hated each other’s guts.
