CHAPTER 25

I continued to pace, hoping that all the unnecessary movements would take away the tension from my body and hopefully, maybe even calm my nerves. So far, so not good.

I really do not want to do what you and your members are advising me to, so I have made the decision to be out. And none of you can stop me!
