Abigail paused to comprehend what she had just read. Her heart was racing. She had not expected to find anything about herself in his diary. She only wanted to see if he was still writing about Alison. But what she discovered surprised her.
She also realized that he had written all this before she found out the truth about her heart transplant. Christopher had expressed his confusion and conflicted feelings for her in the same diary.
Abigail felt a pang of regret for her hasty actions back then, realizing that had she known the depth of his feelings, she might have reacted differently.
She realized that her invasion of his privacy was a small price to pay for the chance to truly comprehend the man she loved. The diary revealed a side of Christopher she had never seen before – vulnerable, human, and achingly real.
