Chapter 23: Hard Decisions
I couldn’t sleep that night.
No matter what the woman said, I knew that Charlie loved me. He had told me that many times over the last few weeks. He had showed it in everything he did for me.
The next morning, I picked up the coffee that had come with breakfast and walked over to the large window to look outside.
The day was overcast, which matched my mood. It was hard enough to deal with all my emotions about Charlie being hurt, and on top of that, I had the feelings from being called a homewrecker and a summer fling.
It was like all my emotions had been thrown into a box and then tossed around. One moment, I felt anxiety over Charlie’s status, then, I’d feel despair that he had someone he loved more. I didn’t know where I fit in his life anymore.
I looked down at the ring on my finger. He loved me enough to want to spend the rest of our lives together. I had to keep that in mind. No matter how that woman fit in his life, he did care for me.
