  Summary

  Noelle's lips formed a line across her face. Was it that it couldn't come out because of Kris? Or that she wouldn't take it out because taking action meant proof? An undeniable admission.

  She squeezed her eyes together; realization arrived in perfect, horrific clarity.

  Kris had hurt her.

  Her estranged-yet-beloved friend.

  Her lifelong neighbor.

  Her Krismas.

  A character study exploring Noelle in the aftermath of Kris & Susie's visit to her home during a Weird Route.
