Chapter 29: Pissed
I can’t sleep. I feel like I haven’t had a night of rest since I recovered from the ambush.
I hate when Althea’s mad at me. It doesn’t happen often. When we were younger, she used to argue with me about moving from town to town. I hated having to uproot her, but we had to in order to survive. Eventually, she realized this and stopped fighting me about it.
After that, it was small things here and there. Our last big fight was about a boy.
She’d met this boy when she was at the market. He took an interest in her. So, naturally, I tailed him to see what he was like.
It was shortly after I saw him enter a brothel that I forbid her from seeing him, telling her that he wasn’t who she thought.
She fought with me all night and didn’t talk to me for a week.
Shortly after, she decided to do her own investigating and saw the same thing: that his three other girlfriends were also receiving flowers and compliments.
