#Chapter 65 The Ultimatum

The rest of the night, I contemplated the fight with Andrew and the conversation with Lily. By the time I finished getting ready for work the next morning, I knew exactly what I wanted to say to Andrew. Just as I reached for my phone to call Andrew, it buzzed. My caller ID showed Andrew’s name. I took a deep breath before answering. “Hello?” “Hi, Crystal,” Andrew said, his voice quieter than normal but still firm. “Is now a good time to talk?” “I was just finishing getting ready for work, but I have a few minutes to spare. Why? What’s on your mind?” “I wanted to apologize for how I reacted yesterday. You were only telling me your opinion based on your experience with Lisa, and I had no right to get mad at you over that.” “Thank you, Andrew. I really appreciate that.” I chewed my bottom lip. “You know, I didn’t mean to imply that she—or anyone—would try and make you choose between the two of us. I especially would not do that to you.” “No, I know that you wouldn’t.”
