Jenny could barely believe it.
It had nearly been two months since she had watched Jimmy and Francine on the steps after their wedding. And yet days had gone by at a time without her thinking about him. She felt, even though her heart was raw and broken, that now she would be able to make a fresh start.
It had been too late for her to not make the same mistake she made with Gerald, and it had broken her heart to say goodbye to Jimmy. He was one of her best friends, so kind, so innocent. It killed her to think he might not be happy. She hated that she had broken his heart.
She knew it was her fault. But she just couldn't do it. Not after Gerald.
So now she held her head high. She promised herself her mind would be on her patients and her work, but she would make room for love in her heart.
She knew she would never make the same mistake again.
