I don’t know what I’m going to do. A few hours earlier, I was ready to tell him everything. But now that I know he plans to head off for months at a time, I’m not sure that would be fair to Stella. Meeting him when he plans on leaving might break her heart. And I don’t know if he can handle being in our lives full time. Stella deserves no less than everything, and if he can’t give her that, I don’t know if he deserves any of it.
