Dereck’s seething accusation
“You’re a disgrace, Chris. How could you do this to Monica and to me?” Dereck seethed. His voice was low but filled with venom.
Chris tried to stammer out a response, but Dereck’s glare silenced him. The accusation hung heavy in the air, each word a nail in Chris’s coffin.
I could see the defeat in Chris’s eyes, the realization that there was no escaping the truth.
