FURIOUS. I WAS mad with Charlotte but even more so with myself for letting her down. I should not have shown her any aggression. What's worse, I didn't even let her explain.
I asked, but I did not even listen. I got caught up in my feelings and had stormed out after kicking the damn lounge chair. Then I just drove until it rained before finding myself sitting in a bar. I had a little bit of alcohol but left some so that I could drive home. They were only two beers, and it is legal.
When I came home to the house I had bought for us, it looked dark, and she was no longer there. The rain had stopped and I figured she would leave. Perhaps she called Tatay Julio to pick her up or Julian.
It made me wonder if they knew who she was. Do they know about Charlotte's secret? If so, since when?
