“I wasn’t running. I was busy. I left Dallas for Cincinnati the next day. I worked my ass off for six years there and came back home. I’ve been busy ever since. The wedding business is cut throat, believe it or not. Life is like that sometimes, you know?” Her denial doesn’t appease me at all.
“I know, but phones work in Cincinnati. You never returned my calls. Why?” She may think I’m playing Rapid Fire with twenty questions, but when questions and scenarios haunt you, you’re going to take the first chance you can to get some answers. If I upset her, I’ll apologize later.
