After Lori was calmed down, I was determined to find Kristen and figure out what in the hell was going on with her. While I felt for the fact that being stuck in the house can really make a person stir crazy, she had really crossed some lines, and she had to understand that it was never going to be okay with me for her to treat my family, or anyone I cared about, the way she had just treated Lori.
Once enough time had passed that I felt like tensions should have at least begun to subside, I walked around the house until I found Kristen. She was standing at the doors to the deck, staring out at the backyard with her arms crossed.
"Hey," I called to her.
"Please don't come talk to me only to make me feel bad. I already feel like sh*t, okay?" she groused.
"Well, that isn't my only goal," I began lightly. Her face turned to look at me. I gave a little shrug. "I want to know what's going on with you. Clearly, something is wrong."
