Her boyfriend… yeah, I know him, and honestly, I don’t dislike him, he’s a good guy, he treats her well, and that should be enough, right?
“Do you really love him?” I ask in the end.
She doesn’t hesitate.
“Yes.”
And that’s enough.
I exhale.
“Then it’s fine.”
Her expression shifts immediately, relieved.
“Really?”
“Yeah, if you’re happy.”
She smiles, calmer now.
“Let’s have some wine to celebrate the good news.”
