“Let’s not dwell on it,” Linda replied, her face tensing as she attempted to defuse the growing tension.

“That incident was some time ago. I was just upset then. We should put it behind us.”

“You expect me to just forget about it?” Eric responded sharply. “What Hadley did isn’t something minor that

can just be overlooked. It’s unforgivable! We can’t simply forgive and forget.”
