He didn't do anything but agree with me when I called him to say I wasn't signing anything until we spoke in private. I've almost convinced myself to tell him about Abby. I'm certainly second-guessing why I need to convince him she isn't his. Maybe it will all be okay.

"It's been three years, Judy. Can't you change the narrative."1

"I'll never change it as long as you're around. You won't be breaking him and Ashlyn up no matter what you think."
