Even though what Steve said wasn't entirely wrong because she was doing this for Mr Collins' sake, Sarah still felt very bad. No matter how people put it, she had lied to Michael. That is a fact.
"I mean, not everyone will do what you do. Who will pretend to still be the wife of her ex-husband? You're doing it because you want to help him, don't be so hard on yourself," Steve continued trying to comfort Sarah.
Sarah said nothing and took her glass back and took a sip. Steve's words kept ringing in her mind. Not many people would do what she did, especially since she hated Michael so much at first.
"Thanks, Steve," Sarah said after putting her glass back on the table. She felt better. What the man said comforted her a little, and she felt good to be able to tell Steve what had happened.
"You're welcome," Steve replied, who didn't take his eyes off Sarah at all even as he took a sip of his wine. He was happy to see her feeling better.
