Daniel and I entered counseling.
Slowly.
Carefully.
Not to force reconciliation.
To tell the truth with a witness.
The counselor asked Daniel, “Why did you not defend Sarah?”
He stared at the floor.
“Because defending her meant exposing me.”
“And what did silence cost?”
He looked at me.
“My wife’s safety.”
I looked away.
That answer was good.
Too late.
But good.
The counselor asked me what I needed.
I said, “I need to never sit at a table where my worth is debated again.”
Daniel whispered, “You won’t.”

I wanted to believe him.
Belief takes longer after betrayal.
