That could not have gone worse. I pulled the car out of underground parking and began driving north. I replayed the conversation repeatedly, along with Elena’s horrified expression. The betrayal and hurt in her eyes. Cat wanted to be the one to tell her about Jamie, but when it came down to it, she froze. I did too.

Sitting in rush hour traffic on my way to Cat and Nick’s home to collect Jamie, I couldn’t help but stare numbly at the string of cars held at the red light. I had planned out in my head how Elena might react when she discovered the truth. There were a thousand different scenarios, but none of them prepared me for the pain of how she’d truly responded. The complete and full body rejection of her life. Our life. If she ran away and never came back again, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Doubts swirled in my mind: Had today been the right time to tell her? Should I have stayed? Could I have been more delicate in telling her about Jamie and our relationship? Had I lost her forever? The move to tell Elena today was a hasty decision, but I had to do it. It might have been the only way to save our family.

I’d arrived home earlier that day from a long night shift. No one had been awake at six a.m. as I tiptoed around the apartment, determined to make it to the dingy old daybed in the spare bedroom before passing out. That was until a foreign object stopped me in my tracks. A huge bouquet of flowers with a balloon reaching the ceiling had been placed on the dining table. On closer inspection, I could tell they were pricey, oversized, with a florist’s card poking from the arrangement, professionally delivered. My stomach was already churning before I had a chance to read the card.
