AARON

I sat there in silent disbelief of the things that Robyn was saying to uilt? She thought that I’d rather be closing a business deal than spending tiuy as a business deal? She rong! I felt guilty, yes…but I wasn’t trying to purge uilt I truly wanted the man who had hurt her…put her life in jeopardy, to pay for what he’d done I honestly wanted to rip his head off, but at least I hadn’t done that I’d gone about it the right way and I had truly thought that would be what she wanted as well How could she not kno much I care about her? How is it that she can’t see and feel that when it’s just the two of us alone that the last thing on uilt? Is it that she expects me to tell her that? Isn’t show better than tell? I rented out a restaurant for her…I celebrated Christmas…for her All that somehow seemed to make her believe that I was embarrassed to be seen with her That wasn’t true…but was I too worried about how she’d fit in? Was I so worried about it that I’d ht she was less than?

I sat there at my desk with my head in my hands I was so confused No woman had ever affectedthat she was everything I didn’t need…she would never fit in with the ated to spend time with in order to make my business a success Yet, for the first ti my business a success wasn’t as most important after all

“Hi Robyn! How are you doing today?”

“I’ood, Gary, how about you?”

“I’ht I’ve just been so worried about you It’s so good to see you back Did they catch the guy who did this to you?” Leave it to Gary to open the wound without even realizing it
