Texting my neighbor’s wife
Deciding on my next move, I figured I’d bring Isabella into the loop. Leo’s wife seemed nice, and maybe she’d understand.
I sent her a casual invite for an early sunrise walk, something different. I felt a little nervous; after all, this wasn’t usual neighbor chit-chat.
My plan was simple: let Isabella see for herself and decide what to do next. If Leo’s antics were shocking to me, they’d surely be the same for her.
