That evening, I wrote a short message, revised it several times, and sent it through Daniel.
The baby’s doctor wants to monitor something on the scan and may recommend a specialist after birth.
There are no firm conclusions yet.
I’ll share any important updates when I have them.
Alexander’s reply came through less than ten minutes later.
Thank you for telling me.
Please let me know if you need anything.
I read it twice.
It was not an apology, but it was the first time he had answered without arguing about what I had said in
the ballroom.
I hated that some part of me felt relieved.
The next afternoon, Daniel called with news about the company’s records.
He had asked for an accounting of the larger expenses connected to Olivia’s apartment and the gifts, partly because the spending could become relevant to the divorce.
