CHAPTER 9 EPOV

After speaking to my work colleague and best friend, Jasper, I decide to take his advice and bite the bullet.

I'm going to speak to Bella tonight. I need to get everything out in the open, and we need to find a way to move forward.

She must be feeling so isolated. Jasper said that his wife Alice hasn't contacted Bella since the news came out. She didn't want to appear to be taking sides, but in my opinion, that's exactly how it must look to my wife.

She doesn't deserve anymore hurt.

I ask Jasper to encourage Alice to call. Maybe Bella will open up to her, making her open up to me. I can only hope.

Checking my own phone, I see no-one has texted or called.

How can I feel so lonely, when I'm surrounded by the people I work with?

But it's not them I want; It's not them I miss.

All because I was encouraged by her.
