Chapter 17

Daniel tried dating again, according to mutual acquaintances who spoke too much.

He told people I chose work over marriage.

Good.

Let him have the sentence.

I knew the truth.

I chose dignity over control.

Work was simply the place where his control finally became visible.

His father sent me a holiday card that year.

No pressure.

No guilt.

Just one line:

I hope your life is larger now.

I placed it on my fridge.

May you like

Because yes.

It was.
