guilty accepting all of it.”
Allan sat down beside Rachel, his expression thoughtful and distant as he began speaking in a soft voice.
“Rachel, there's something about my mother I've never shared before. | never thought it was important, and
honestly, she was absent from my life for so long. But with her presence now, | realize | should open up about it.”
Rachel gave him a gentle nod, her gaze full of understanding.
“I'm listening.”
Allan hesitated, gathering his thoughts.

Allan paused, the weight of that day still heavy in his heart.
