Chapter 23 - A Confrontation (2)

It wasn't like that. I was conflicted about my feelings for you. You'd worked so hard to get into the same university as me. I… was touched, Nora. I tried convincing myself that I would be able to recover that love with you. But then you went away with Grandpa William's family, and seeing Sara became easier. But both of us suffered as well when you were away having fun! Even a moment of shared laughter brought pain that we would have to eventually separate so that I could marry you. I considered so many times breaking up with you, but Sara was adamant that I shouldn't break your heart. It was only on the wedding day that she broke down before the ceremony… she broke down Nora, and I knew then that I would be able to go through with it.
