Chapter 38

"Peter, I can't stand seeing you guys behave this way toward each other. We all know how both of you feel toward each other. Why don't you just go to her and lay it on the line," Beth encouraged.

"I don't know. I just can't seem to get it right. Maybe it's just not meant to be," he replied and turned his attention away from the kind woman. He was spent on this topic and just couldn't talk about it anymore.

Later in the afternoon, Beth took advantage of some private time with him again and took it upon herself to explain to him that nothing was going on between Alex and Mark. She further explained that Mark was married. Going deeper, she explained Alex's difficulties dealing with the whole thing - her feelings for him and the overshadowing guilt that came along with them. "She loves you, Peter, you know she does. You just need to hang tough and find a way to get through to her."
