Tears were streaming down Judy's cheeks and dripping on her phone which she was managing to hold still. Her hands were shaking and she was boiling with rage. She felt her heart aching and her head felt as if it was on fire. She began to shake violently. She tightened her fists, hit it against the wall and she began to bleed.

She tore the book beside her on the bed into tiny bits and scattered it across her room. She placed her back against the wall and cried her heart out. How could Gidoen do this to me?
