But I hadn’t lost everything.
And I refused to abandon something I’d worked hard to achieve because Seth believed my time belonged to him.
The morning passed quickly.
A patient arrived late for a cleaning.
Our insurance software rejected a valid claim.
One hygienist needed help adjusting the afternoon appointments.
Ordinary workplace difficulties.
Problems I understood and could resolve.
Around noon, I checked my phone.
Heather had written:
Colin’s got the kids tomorrow and Wednesday. I’m meeting with a daycare director tomorrow afternoon about possible openings. Nothing definite yet, but at least we have a few days.
Another message followed.
I also told Seth the truck loan is still his responsibility.
I studied the screen.
Heather continued:
He said that wasn’t fair because he’d already made arrangements. I told him you never agreed to those arrangements, so they weren’t his to make.
I doubted Seth would repay her quickly.
