My feelings for Norma had been my undoing.
Tears fell before I could stop them. Penelope saw them, and her fists clenched.
"Duane, I know everything that happened. I'm going to make that monster Norma pay!"
I shook my head.
"She'll never admit to it."
And even if she did, what then?
Could she give me back a healthy kidney? Could she return the three years I'd lost?
No. I wanted her to lose what she cared about most. I wanted her to live in agony, every single day.
