know how that sounds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt sounds accurate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She covered her mouth.<\/p>\n<p>I did not rescue her from the silence.<\/p>\n<p>For years, I had believed love required interpreting Abigail generously.<\/p>\n<p>If she withdrew, she was tired.<\/p>\n<p>If she overspent, she was stressed.<\/p>\n<p>If she hid something, she needed privacy.<\/p>\n<p>Generosity becomes

first thing you\u2019ve said that makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She cried quietly.<\/p>\n<p>I felt nothing like satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>Punishment did not restore anything.<\/p>\n<p>It only named damage after the fact.<\/p>\n<p>James entered carrying another folder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abigail looked

statement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe said Raymond had a partner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abigail\u2019s face changed.<\/p>\n<p>I saw it.<\/p>\n<p>James did too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know who that is,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou reacted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought he meant me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow do you know?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause Evan specifically said it wasn\u2019t you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She went pale.<\/p>\n<p>James watched her carefully.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho else worked with

outside your room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t see him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDid you hear him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRecognize the
