Putting my hands over my face, I whimpered, “Linda, I can’t believe she did this to me. I thought she loved me.”
My tears wet my palms as Linda lifted me up to give me a hug. She offered to call in sick today to sit with me, but I encouraged her to go in. I didn’t want to mess with anyone’s money because my relationship had imploded.
“Girl, right now all I want to do is just lie down. I didn’t sleep well last night and I just want to be in a safe space where I can rest.”
“The house is yours. You know where the guest bedroom is and I have some meetings to go to today so you will have the house to yourself. Have you called and let your people know you’re not coming in today?”
