Marie squeezed my shoulder.

“Andrea, what do you want to do?”

“I’m angry,” I said finally.

“I’m angry that you lied to me. I’m angry that you kept this from me for five years. I’m angry that you let me believe our entire relationship was built on some fairy tale meet-cute when it was actually built on a tragedy.”

“I’m angry that you lied to me.”

Ryan nodded, tears streaming down his face.

“But I also understand why you did it.”
