I stayed in town for a few more days to help Kristen get everything arranged. It was a big responsibility for a young woman. At least that is what I told myself but perhaps I stayed to avoid having to make the decision about my own life. Eventually I found myself on the flight home. What answer would I give Mark?

I’d had a happy marriage, I told myself. It wasn’t perfect, but no marriage is. It would be better for Rachel to have her parents together, and it would certainly take some of the financial pressure off my shoulders. I had the opportunity to step right back into our marriage, to reunite our family.

The flight attendant offered me a drink. As I reached for the cup, the ring on my finger caught the light. I’d forgotten about it. I slipped it off my finger and rolled it around in my hand. I thought about being married to Mark again as though nothing had changed.

But I had changed. I tried to imagine Mark taking care of me in my final days of an illness, bathing and dressing and caring for me. I couldn’t see it. It wasn’t that he didn’t love me, in his way. It’s just that he wasn’t able to love me unselfishly; that kind of devotion just wasn’t in him.

I was going to tell him no. I could forgive him, but I didn’t want to be married to him. Now that I knew what real love was, I wasn’t going to settle. I might never find that kind of love, but I was going to try. Ross and Cindy would have wanted it that way.
