3. Understanding the Past
A few days later, Ryan finally explained everything.
He told me that someone from his family had been involved in the situation where our paths first crossed. At the time, emotions were high and many decisions were made quickly.
Ryan had rushed to help as soon as he heard what happened. His focus had been making sure that everything was handled properly and that the situation was taken care of as quickly as possible.
For years, he had been unsure whether telling me every detail would help or simply reopen difficult memories.
But he realized that honesty was the best way to begin our married life together.
When he finished explaining, I understood why he had struggled to talk about it.
