Trade Me for a Schemer? Enjoy Your Fall
I chatted with him and helped him work through his troubles.
He told me about his family, about his tragic experiences. Finally, he said he had nowhere to go.
I'd never imagined anyone living in such awful circumstances. Angry and upset, I eventually told him, "Be with me. As long as you love me, I'll never leave you."
But he only remembered half of that. He forgot about the part where he was supposed to love me.
Every time he forgot something important, I'd make excuses for him, thinking he was just too busy. But eventually, I couldn't fool myself anymore, especially after I discovered he could clearly remember Lila's birthday, her preferences, even her food allergies.
