บท 38: Chapter 38

“I threw your clothes in the washer, too. They’re drying now. Are you hungry? Do you want anything for breakfast?” While he stood and peered into the refrigerator and rattled off a list of food options, I mentally planned my escape. As much as I loved Chris (and I didstill love him) and appreciated everything he’d done for me, I had to get away from him before his smothering drove me crazy. When he’d kicked me out, he said he’d “enabled” me and, at the time, I was insulted. But now, I realized he was right. He hadenabled me and I’d gladly let him. While we were a couple, I’d worried about very little in our relationship and, if problems arose, my default response had been, Chris will take care of it. I had been willfully ignorant of so much during that time, and now, looking back, I could kick myself for being so oblivious.
