A Promise She'll Never Keep
She would say, "Todd has always been sensitive. Now that he's sick, I can't just leave him alone. What if something happens to him? Trust me. I just don't want him doing anything reckless. This doesn't mean anything."
She had promised me she'd only visit him 99 times. After the 99th visit, she'd put it all behind her, and we'd go back to living our normal lives.
So, every time she walked out the door to see him, I'd drop a single bean into that jar.
More than a week ago, I had finally dropped in the 99th bean. But when I rushed to Rachel with Diana in my arms and hope in my heart, I was met with the sight of Todd holding Rachel tightly in his arms.
