This is a fantastic take! I noticed you skipped over a word near the end so watch out for that in the future. Your articulation sounds really nice here, and your overall tone fits the read perfectly. The character here sounds like a narrator who's been through some stuff and is over it, and I'd love to hear more of that character in your voice. Some phrases felt like they could have had a bit more time to feel fleshed out, perhaps emphasized more, leaving more of an impact on the listener. "Nothing changed" feels solid to me, but the ending of "only proved to tear us further apart" you miss "further" could feel more final and conclusive. Maybe leave us with a question or what's going to happen next? More suspense? A little slowed down? Just a few random suggestions. Just watch with pronunciation. You pronounced “fevered” (Like in fever) as “feh-vered”. This performance is still good! Well done.
