Chapter 26


Allison put everything she had into a slap that landed squarely on Shawn's face.

Shawn and Kate just stood there, stunned.

"Get out!" Allison yelled at Shawn, her voice seething with anger. "This is none of your business! Who do you think you are, forgiving her on my behalf?"

Kate was shocked to see Shawn get slapped. She shoved Shawn aside, her anger bubbling over as she squared up to Allison. "Who do you think you are? How could you hit Shawn?"

"Smack!" Another slap rang out.

"You get out too!"

A bright red handprint bloomed on Kate's cheek.

Kate was furious and upset and couldn't just let it go. Her eyes flared as she raised her hand to slap back, but Allison caught her wrist and tossed her aside. Kate hit the floor, her hand landing on the jagged pieces of the broken porcelain puppy. Blood immediately welled up from her palm.
