"Harper, don't blame yourself and don't overthink it. It's not your fault. Even if he did it for you, what difference does it make? You didn't force him to do it, nor did you imply for him to do it.

"No!" Harper immediately grabbed Annie's hand, shaking her head. "I don't know how to tell him. I haven't thought it through. If he finds out, will he blame me?"
