REJECTED BY LOVE
“You don’t understand what love is, Emily. Love isn’t about control or manipulation. It’s about trust, respect, and kindness. And what you did… it was none of those things.”
He leans forward, his voice growing more resolute. “I chose Eloise, and I will continue to choose her every day. What you did only solidified that choice.”
Emily’s eyes burn with anger, but she doesn’t say anything else. She stands up abruptly, her chair scraping loudly against the floor, and walks away without another word. Stanley watches her go, and as he does, he feels an odd mixture of relief and sorrow. On the one hand, a terrible problem was ending and on the other, he was losing a friend permanently.
