Regaining Trust

“I already know what he’s going to say. We’ve sort of been drifting apart for a while. Nothing dramatic, but we’re in different places in our lives. He wants to keep partying, keep sleeping around, and I’m not interested in that anymore. And it’s not only because of you, even if he thinks you’re the one to blame. I’m serious about The Chocolaterie. Marie and I have plans for the place that don’t go with late nights and lots of booze.”

“You’ve accomplished a lot. You should be proud.”
