Her Dumb Honour

Innocent, pretty, kind, and compassionate were the fitting descriptions for Karen Barger. She had been living her perfect life until it had begun to crumble at a time she least expected it. To seek comfort, she returns to Atlanta, her home, and unbeknownst to her, another piece of her world crumbles in New York. Along with her two friends in Atlanta, Karen’s life will be on a roller coaster, and she will experience raw, vulnerable, and intense emotions like never before. Determined to honour the vows of her closest people, Karen will go to the extreme ends to ensure they are happy. However, one by one, dark, buried secrets will be out in the open, leaving Karen over in the head after the realization that those she sacrificed everything for were not worth the efforts. Will she rise beyond the spiral of betrayals and vengeance, or will she succumb to them?

"I know you're annoyed. We'll talk about this tomorrow," Karen said, leaving. Sam didn't answer her.

He was a year older than her, and so while Karen was waiting to join college, Sam was already in college. Their breakup had been during his short break home, and when he got back to college, Karen never heard from or saw him until years later when he appeared at her and Val's dinner table.

Arnold sat outside Trevor's office, waiting for Carina to come out. He was glad Carina was livening up a little and that Trevor had been of real help.

Inside Trevor's office, Carina narrated all her horrible experiences with Mercy.

"I think she picks up on me. I just don't know why," Carina said sadly.

"Do you think she does that to the other children as well?" Trevor asked.

"No. I think it's only me. No one suffers like me. I have thought of running away from that place, but I don't have anywhere to go," Carina said.
