Planning On The Deck
Craving a moment of solitude, I stepped out onto the deck, letting the soft breeze calm my racing thoughts. Out here, away from Richard’s booming voice and Margaret’s ever-commanding presence, peace finally settled over me. I leaned against the railing, weighing how best to deliver the bombshell I’d been holding onto. I knew I couldn’t keep them in the dark much longer. All I needed was the perfect timing and the right words—because when the truth dropped, it was going to be a spectacle, and I wanted it to land just right.

Lisa’s Gentle Consultation
Lisa joined me moments later, her voice soft as she asked, “So, how do we tell them?” leaning on the railing beside me. I appreciated her being part of the moment—this revelation would impact her life just as much as mine. We bounced ideas back and forth, carefully weighing how to break the news without sparking chaos. As we reached a shared understanding, the anticipation between us thickened—the moment of truth was drawing near, and the air practically hummed with what was about to unfold.
