Yeager

Ager because I was pissed at Cedric Thad my selfish reasons, but Yeager really took it seriously. He’s been great to me, only getting out of line

Eleanor got the gist Halley knew what Yeager had done, but chose to forgive him, only….

“What about Cedric? He must be pretty bummed out, being misunderstood and all‘

Eleanor was coaxing Hailey to consider Cedric’s feelings too

As Hailey thought about Cedric’s red faced rage and how he had been misunderstood, guilt washed over her, but she suppressed it. She explained to Eleanor, “When I agreed to marry Yeager, he had already set the date with his family I can’t push him away just because of my mistake. I have to take responsibility for my actions and not deceive him or his family, otherwise, I’ll feel guilty”

It became clear that Hailey was already aware of the dilemma she was facing Her consideration extended beyond just personal feelings, and she felt a sense of responsibility towards Yeager and his family, which made her decision even more complicated

If Eleanor were in her shoes, she wouldn’t be able to help Hailey make the right decision either. After a few seconds of silence, she advised Hailey

“You haven’t been with Yeager for long, maybe give it more time before you consider tying the knot?*

It was apparent that Yeager was not a bad person, but Hailey’s feelings towards him seemed to be lukewarm at best.

Hailey believed it’s preferable to marry someone who loved her rather than someone she loved.

This way, even if she got hurt or betrayed eventually, she could walk away without regrets. For her, no love meant no pain. Hailey’s perspective on marriage was valid, and she wanted to protect herself from potential heartache.

However, as Hailey’s friend, Eleanor wished for her happiness.

She shared her own experience of choosing a man she loved, which led to a happy marriage despite initial pain.

Eleanor’s approach was to face whatever the future held with the person she loved. But Hailey’s past negative experience with marriage had left a lasting impression, shaping her cautious outlook on love and commitment.

Both Hailey’s and Eleanor’s viewpoints had their merits, reflecting their individual perspectives and life experiences.

Ultimately, Hailey’s choice would be influenced by her own understanding of love, trust, and the desire for a fulfilling relationship.

As her friend, Eleanor could only hope for the best for Hailey and support her in whichever decision she made.

“I know you’re worried about me, but don’t sweat it, I be fine.”

Eleanor wanted to reason with Hailey further, but Hailey didn’t want to talk about it anymore.
