Unfortunately, she admitted the ugly thing in her heart way too late. It was ugly because she could not control it. It was ugly because it made her insane.
Now, Kathrina felt like crying.
With a heavy heart, Kathrina went into her apartment. She had trouble breathing as though there was a lump in her breathing pathway. She touched her chest, which seemed to throb painfully like she was experiencing a heart problem.
