He curses and releases me.

“You made her believe you loved her.”

He lunges.

“You should have stopped looking.”

I bring my knee up.

His face is inches from mine.

“You almost ruined everything.”

“You ruined it yourself.”

“You think Campbell can save you?”

The pressure against my throat increases.

Black spots flicker at the edges of my vision.

I hear something.

A vehicle.

Fast.

Greg hears it too.

His head turns toward the entrance.

I use the distraction.
