Wounds so Deep

Richard had anxiously awaited Andrew's return home after his sudden departure. He understood the reasons behind his impulsive decision, even if it was reckless. Now, as he sat lost in his thoughts, Richard couldn't help but wonder how long Andrew had known and why he hadn't confronted him about it.

Meredith's silence was easier to comprehend. Richard knew the pain he had caused her, the disappointment and betrayal she had experienced. But with Andrew, the confusion lingered. A heavy sigh escaped Richard's lips, and his head drooped slightly as he contemplated the damage he had caused. 

Disappointment seemed to follow him wherever he went, casting a shadow over his relationships. And soon, the truth might come to light, and he would have to face the disappointment of everyone who had believed in him.
