Let’s face it: Chrissie isn’t known for her sunny disposition. She’s the kind of person who holds a grudge like it’s a winning lottery ticket. Remember that time your friend borrowed your favorite sweater and spilled wine on it? You didn’t forget, did you? For Chrissie, Zoe’s betrayal is that sweater, but with a lot more blood and tears involved.
Chrissie feels that Zoe owes her loyalty, and when Zoe started getting close to Sam Mitchell, it was like watching your best friend go on a date with your sworn enemy. It stings. It’s personal. It’s a red flag that says, “You’ve chosen the wrong team, love.”
A Little Game of Hide and Seek
Have you ever tried to keep a big, juicy secret from your family? It’s exhausting, right? You have to remember every lie you told, and you start sweating when someone asks a simple question like “What did you have for lunch?” Chrissie is living that nightmare, but the secret is a dead body in the cellar of a pub she runs.
Zoe isn’t just a random passerby; she’s part of the original mess. She knows that Chrissie helped cover up Den’s murder, but she wasn’t sure about the details. Now, Chrissie is terrified that Zoe will spill the beans to the wrong person—or worse, to the police.
Imagine you’re trying to finish a jigsaw puzzle, but someone keeps stealing the corner pieces. That’s Zoe to Chrissie. Every time Zoe asks a question, she pulls out another corner piece, and the whole picture of Chrissie’s safe life starts to crumble.
