Chapter 23 Illicit Obsession

But looking at the box, it’s clear there’s absolutely no way of peeking in because it’s sealed shut with plenty of sturdy packing tape. Of course it is. I would need a box cutter to open this thing, but then, I won’t be able to reseal it and pretend like nothing happened. But am I willing to risk it? A few days ago I would have said no. But that was a few days ago, and back then, I was a different woman. Now, I’m the new Chrissy, and I’m a sassy girl who’s boldly substituted myself for a doll not once, but twice. Clearly, I’m discovering parts of myself that were previously buried in the sand. So yes, maybe I could do it. Maybe I should. Besides, what if I opened the box anddidn’thide my actions? What if I totally own the decision, and use it as a segue to start my conversation with Brad?
