Six years ago

"I'm done! I hate this! I hate him!" I finally stopped running and stomped on the ground clenching my fists and gritting my teeth. I gasped for air, swallowing to release the tension in my throat. "I hate you, Alexander James Hunter! I hate you!"

"Don't hate so strongly. It isn't good for your health."
