Good intentions

"So did you meet him?" When Charlotte nodded her head, Sebastian further inquired, "Did you tell Brandon about it?" 

"No I didn't because I thought he would be angry and I didn't want to upset him but—" Stopping midway, she started crying out loud. 

Passing her the tissue box, Ellie sighed, "Don't cry Charlotte, everything is going to be okay." 

Vigorously shaking her head, she snorted, "Nothing is going to be okay, Brandon doesn't want me anymore." 

Widening her eyes in shock, Ellie gasped, "What? Brandon found out about it?" 

"Yes, he saw me in the café with Jimmy." Wiping her tears, she added, "I tried to explain everything but he did not listen to me." 

"Why would you do that? Why did you lie to him? You could have told him the truth Char, why did you lie to him?" 

"Maybe she kept this away from her because she didn't want to hurt him, things would've become complicated if she had told him about the meeting," Sebastian explained.
