"Collins really has a heart of stone," Henrik released me, his tone dripping with sympathy.

I rarely swore like that, hurling insult after insult, until I didn't even know who I was cursing anymore.

But it seemed that was the only way to vent the overwhelming feelings of injustice and sorrow inside me.

Henrik didn't dodge; he just let me lash out.

Henrik left, and the moment he shut the door, I heard someone outside ask him, "Can this girl hook Ernest?"

As the door closed, Henrik's reply was cut off.
