Claire and Madison Eventually Spoke Again
Not as friends.
But as two mothers dealing with the same irresponsible father.
Madison apologized.
“I should’ve walked away the second I found out you were pregnant.”
Claire answered:
“Yes.”
Madison nodded.
No excuses.
That honesty mattered more to Claire than she’d expected.
Madison then said:
“I also believed what I wanted to believe.”
Claire understood that too.
Evan Asked Claire to Reconcile
Six months later, he was attending therapy.
Paying support.
Following a custody schedule.
And according to Claire, finally taking responsibility without blaming everyone else.
He asked if she would try marriage counseling.
Claire surprised everyone.
She said yes.
Not because she had forgiven him.
Because she wanted to know whether forgiveness was even possible.
