Lost Me Gained Regret

In a moment of desperation, playing a risky game seemed like the only way out.

That was when...

Jane hung up her call and turned to Christine, "Are you serious?"

"You were just happy someone was standing by your side."

"And now you're saying this?"

"Are you talking about breaking up, or just not seeing each other until he sorts out the Nelly situation?"

Christine wanted a drink, but the meds she was on made that a no-go.

She sipped some sparkling water instead and said, "It's a breakup."

"I can't match up to the Clarksons, having been part of it was enough. I don't want him to have to choose between his family and me."

"My so-called dad, even though we've cut ties, is still my father at the end of the day."

"Dailey's got political ambitions, and my father could be used against him."

"So, if I can't help him, I shouldn't hold him back."

Jane felt a pang of heartache.

These words were recorded by Gregory in Madge's room and sent to Christine.
