Chapter 13 - Ryan Comes Back Without Madison
Months later, Ryan requested to see Eleanor.
Madison was gone.
Their engagement had ended.
His Caldwell position was gone.
Several legal and financial matters remained unresolved.
Eleanor agreed to one supervised meeting.
Ryan entered looking older.
“I’m sorry.”
Eleanor waited.
“For hitting you.”
She waited longer.
“For the money.”
Still she waited.
Ryan’s eyes filled.
“For thinking you were something I had to control.”
Eleanor finally spoke.
“That is closer.”
Ryan asked if she loved him.
Eleanor answered, “Yes.”
Ryan began crying.
Then she added:
“And you still cannot come home.”
Love did not restore access.
Remorse did not erase risk.
May you like
Ryan nodded.
For once, he did not argue.
