She’s worked herself to exhaustion trying to graduate early so she can start bui
I barely sleep at night right now. Every time I close my eyes, I either see Jen crying in that hospital room or imagine her in San Francisco, finally deciding she was done with me for good. By seven in the morning, I have given up pretending sleep is going to happen. The house is quiet as I sit at t
Hours pass in a blur of punishment. By late afternoon, I finally collapse onto the bench near the weights rack, breathing heavily. Sweat is dripping from my jaw as I grab my water bottle and take a long drink. That is when my phone buzzes. I frown immediately when I see the name. Chase. I wince know

“Jen, I know you’re crying. There’s no need to hide it from me. I am feeling the same pain and hurt you are. I hate the pain I caused you all those years ago. There’s nothing more I can do than apologize; that’s all I can offer until I can remember why I did what I did.”“Just drop it, Greg. It’s al
The rest of the morning, the three of us have been on the phone with multiple people. The family lawyer, a private investigator, Greg’s father Nick, Harvard’s Dean of Administration, and my boss at the Boston office.
