Chapter Thirty-One
MAE
I kept opening the email on my phone and staring at that stupid subject line. The little red dot was constantly bright on my screen all because of that one email. I was afraid.
Rowan had opened a door I never wanted to open again. I honestly didn't want to pursue anything around this legally. The process alone would eat me alive.
My day was busy at work, but I had plenty of time to think, so I made a decision. I didn't know what to do, but I needed some space. I wasn't blaming Rowan for Chet emailing me, but this was my situation to deal with. I did not want anyone else involved. I just needed to come to my own peace with it. I didn’t think closure was possible, if only because the concept was f*****g obnoxious for traumatic events.
I was tempted to be a coward
