MY HUSBAND HIT ME BECAUSE I REFUSED TO MOVE INTO HIS MOTHER’S HOUSE, THEN TOLD ME TO COVER THE BRUISES BEFORE LUNCH, BUT AT NOON HE WALKED IN LAUGHING AND FOUND MY FATHER WAITING BESIDE A FOLDER HE NEVER KNEW EXISTED / Chapter 21 / 26

Chapter 21 - Julian's daughter? He has none. Could show he becomes stepfather to Mara's son and handles boundaries, proof change. But user might like. Let's do. Chapter 22: Audrey's retirement and father foundation. Chapter 23: final old Mercer file, one last business question. Chapter 24: anniversary noon, Audrey visits old townhouse? Chapter 25 complete with makeup bag memory and final line.

Let's continue.

Continue to the next part: Sophie’s first serious relationship conflict teaches Audrey not to treat every disagreement as a repeat of her past, while Sophie learns that saying no is allowed even inside love.
