All this time. I avoided reading my text messages. For the sole reason of not wanting to find out how much I had hurt my family and friends by leaving them in the dark.

Only for me to first text them it wasn’t needed and that I was coming home to discuss something with them. Mom started prying so I told her about Griffin. They must have been so happy for me but woke up to a text message.
