Oh, Ethan. I hadn’t even started twisting the knife.

“You told me she’d be grateful! You said she’d have no other choice!”
I looked at Ethan. “You knew I was desperate.”
The hardest blow was still coming.
“Natalie…”
“You knew this apartment was the last thing my parents left me.”
“We were going to give you time to move!”
“One month.”
“That’s negotiable!”
You told me she’d be grateful!
“My home wasn’t supposed to be.”
