Chapter 9 / 15
Chapter 10 - Lauren Refuses To Become A Villain
Lauren ended her engagement to Daniel.
Quietly.
She did not slap him.
She did not scream at me.
She did not become jealous of four children she had never met.
She told Daniel:
“You hid a part of your life because you didn’t want questions.”
Daniel admitted it.
Lauren later asked to speak with me.
I agreed.
She said:
“I’m sorry I was standing there with a ring when you walked in.”
“You didn’t know.”
“I know. It still feels awful.”
I liked her for not making my history about her guilt.
She moved on.
Daniel lost a relationship because of his own secrecy.

Not because I arrived to destroy it.
That distinction mattered to me.
