Wondering about backfire
I couldn’t help but wonder if my plan had backfired somehow. What if Chris had turned the tables on me? Doubt gnawed at my confidence.
Maybe he had managed to spin some story, and now I was the one in trouble. I bit my lip, trying to calm my racing thoughts.
Every second that ticked by felt like an eternity. The walls seemed to close in around me, amplifying my fear.
I had to know the outcome of my actions.
