Chapter 32 : Unrestrained Anger

Astrid

My shock at Tristan’s words left me unable to act. I was conflicted. I was frightened by how intense the situation had suddenly become, but I was also relieved to see that Tristan was having an impact on Charles.

I was also more than a little dumbfounded that he cared enough about me to be pushed to this level. Tristan was so level headed and calm usually. This was almost surreal.

Maybe Eddie was right. Maybe we just needed to scare Charles. I couldn’t imagine that he would continue with his threats after this.

I saw movement from the corner of my eye and looked to see Eddie approaching Tristan and Charles.

Eddie put his hand firmly over Tristan’s, which was still gripping Charles’ shirt and holding him a few feet off of the ground. I didn’t hear Eddie say anything, but I could see that he was applying pressure to Tristan’s hand. Slowly, Tristan lowered Charles back to his feet and released his shirt.
