The moment\u00a0I heard his voice, my\u00a0chest tightened. It\u00a0wasn\u2019t just attraction\u2014it was something far deeper, something\u00a0I couldn\u2019t control. \u201cEmma, you\u2019re amazing. Seriously. This whole dinner setup? Perfect,\u201d Daniel said, smiling at\u00a0me\u00a0from across the table. He\u00a0must love<\/a>\u00a0me, he\u00a0must!<\/p>\n

I\u00a0love Daniel. Yes, I\u00a0said\u00a0it. I\u00a0love him.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cOh, it\u2019s nothing,\u201d I\u00a0replied, waving it\u00a0off like it\u00a0was no\u00a0big deal. Inside, my\u00a0heart was doing somersaults.
My\u00a0daughter Lily beamed, sitting next to\u00a0him, her hand lightly resting on\u00a0his arm. \u201cMom\u2019s the best. Always has been.\u201d
\u201cWell, she outdid herself tonight,\u201d he\u00a0said, locking eyes with me\u00a0briefly before turning back to\u00a0his plate. I\u00a0could\u2019ve sworn his gaze lingered just a\u00a0second too long.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0excused myself to\u00a0the kitchen, needing a\u00a0moment to\u00a0breathe. My\u00a0hands trembled as\u00a0I gripped the counter. This couldn\u2019t be\u00a0happening. I\u2019m her mother. He\u2019s her husband. What kind of\u00a0person even entertains these thoughts?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cEmma?\u201d His voice startled\u00a0me. I\u00a0spun around to\u00a0see Daniel standing in\u00a0the doorway. \u201cEverything okay?\u201d
\u201cOh, yes. Just…checking on\u00a0the dessert,\u201d I\u00a0stammered.
\u201cYou\u2019ve been incredible today. Really,\u201d he\u00a0said, stepping closer. \u201cI\u00a0don\u2019t know how you do\u00a0it\u00a0all.\u201d
\u201cIt\u2019s nothing,\u201d I\u00a0said, forcing a\u00a0laugh. \u201cJust years of\u00a0practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u00a0took another step, his voice dropping to\u00a0a\u00a0near whisper. <\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re remarkable, Emma. You should know that.\u201d For a\u00a0second, the air between\u00a0us crackled with tension. But then\u00a0I heard Lily\u2019s laugh from the dining room, breaking the moment like a\u00a0pin to\u00a0a\u00a0balloon. \u201cI\u00a0should get back to\u00a0them,\u201d I\u00a0said quickly, brushing past him.<\/p>\n

\n

The days that followed were torture<\/a>. Every time Daniel and Lily visited, I\u00a0found myself drawn to\u00a0him like a\u00a0moth to\u00a0a\u00a0flame. It\u00a0wasn\u2019t just his looks\u2014though he\u00a0was undeniably handsome. It\u00a0was the way he\u00a0listened, the way he\u00a0seemed to\u00a0genuinely care about what\u00a0I had to\u00a0say. And then there were the stolen glances, the brief touches that lingered just a\u00a0little too long.<\/p>\n

One afternoon, Lily was out running errands, leaving Daniel and me\u00a0alone in\u00a0the house.
\u201cEmma,\u201d he\u00a0said, finding me\u00a0in\u00a0the living room. \u201cCan we\u00a0talk?\u201d
My\u00a0stomach churned. \u201cSure. What about?\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u00a0hesitated, running a\u00a0hand through his hair. \u201cI\u00a0don\u2019t know how to\u00a0say this without it\u00a0sounding…wrong. But I\u2013I feel something when I\u2019m around you. Something I\u00a0can\u2019t ignore.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I\u00a0froze. \u201cDaniel, stop. This isn\u2019t right.\u201d<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\u201cI\u00a0know it\u2019s not,\u201d he\u00a0said, his voice cracking. \u201cBut it\u2019s the truth. I\u00a0care about Lily, of\u00a0course I\u00a0do. But there\u2019s something about you, Emma. You make me\u00a0feel alive in\u00a0a\u00a0way\u00a0I haven\u2019t in\u00a0years.\u201d
\u201cThis can\u2019t happen,\u201d I\u00a0whispered, though my\u00a0resolve was wavering. \u201cWe\u2019d hurt her. Destroy her.\u201d
\u201cI\u00a0know,\u201d he\u00a0said, stepping closer. \u201cBut what if\u00a0we\u2019re meant to\u00a0be? What if\u00a0we\u2019re throwing away something real because of\u00a0what people might think?\u201d<\/p>\n

Tears welled up\u00a0in\u00a0my\u00a0eyes. \u201cDon\u2019t say that. Please.\u201d
Before I\u00a0could stop him, he\u00a0reached out, brushing a\u00a0tear from my\u00a0cheek. The touch sent shivers down my\u00a0spine.
\u201cDaniel, please,\u201d I\u00a0begged, stepping back. \u201cYou have to\u00a0go. Now.\u201d
He\u00a0looked pained but nodded. \u201cI\u2019ll go. But this isn\u2019t over, Emma. I\u00a0can\u2019t just turn these feelings off.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Weeks passed, and\u00a0I tried to\u00a0bury the feelings, to\u00a0pretend nothing had happened. But it\u00a0was impossible. Every time\u00a0I saw him, the pull grew stronger.
One evening, after Lily had gone to\u00a0bed, Daniel and\u00a0I ended up\u00a0alone on\u00a0the patio. The cool night air did nothing to\u00a0quell the heat between\u00a0us.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmma,\u201d he\u00a0said softly. \u201cI\u00a0can\u2019t keep doing this. Pretending everything\u2019s normal when it\u2019s not.\u201d
\u201cDaniel, we\u00a0have to\u00a0think about Lily,\u201d I\u00a0said, my\u00a0voice trembling. \u201cShe loves you. She trusts\u00a0me. We\u00a0can\u2019t betray her.\u201d
\u201cAnd what about\u00a0us?\u201d he\u00a0asked, his eyes searching mine. \u201cDon\u2019t we\u00a0deserve to\u00a0be\u00a0happy too?\u201d he\u00a0asked\u00a0me.
\u201cNot at\u00a0my\u00a0daughter\u2019s expense,\u201d I\u00a0said firmly, though my\u00a0heart was breaking.
\u201cI\u2019ve never felt this way about anyone,\u201d he\u00a0admitted. \u201cNot even Lily.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The words hit me\u00a0like a\u00a0punch to\u00a0the gut. <\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

I\u00a0wanted to\u00a0deny\u00a0it, to\u00a0tell him he\u00a0was wrong. But deep down, I\u00a0felt the same way.
\u201cDaniel, please don\u2019t make this harder than it\u00a0already\u00a0is,\u201d I\u00a0whispered, tears streaming down my\u00a0face.<\/p>\n

He\u00a0reached for my\u00a0hand, \u201cJust tell me\u00a0you don\u2019t feel the same, and I\u2019ll walk away. I\u2019ll never bring it\u00a0up\u00a0again.\u201d I\u00a0opened my\u00a0mouth to\u00a0deny\u00a0it, to\u00a0tell him\u00a0I felt nothing. But the words wouldn\u2019t come. Instead, a\u00a0sob escaped my\u00a0lips.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI\u00a0can\u2019t,\u201d I\u00a0admitted. \u201cI\u00a0do feel the same. But that doesn\u2019t mean we\u00a0can act on\u00a0it.\u201d
For a\u00a0moment, neither of\u00a0us spoke. The only sound was the rustling of\u00a0leaves in\u00a0the wind.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u00a0love you, Emma,\u201d he\u00a0said finally, his voice barely above a\u00a0whisper. \u201cAnd I\u00a0don\u2019t know how to\u00a0stop.\u201d
I\u00a0pulled my\u00a0hand away, standing up\u00a0abruptly, \u201cYou have to\u00a0try. For Lily. For all of\u00a0us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He\u00a0nodded, though the pain in\u00a0his eyes was clear. \u201cI\u2019ll try. But I\u00a0can\u2019t promise it\u2019ll work.\u201d<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

The fallout came unexpectedly. I\u00a0was in\u00a0the kitchen when my\u00a0daughter came, burst in\u00a0tears streaming down her face. \u201cMom! How could you?\u201d she screamed, her voice cracking with betrayal.
My\u00a0heart stopped. \u201cLily, what are you talking about?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u00a0saw the texts,\u201d she said, holding up\u00a0her phone. \u201cBetween you and Daniel. How long has this been going\u00a0on?\u201d
\u201cLily, it\u2019s not what you think,\u201d I\u00a0stammered, my\u00a0voice trembling. \u201cNothing happened.\u201d
\u201cDon\u2019t lie to\u00a0me, Mom!\u201d she shouted. \u201cHow could you do\u00a0this to\u00a0me? To\u00a0us?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Before I\u00a0could respond, Daniel walked\u00a0in, his face pale, \u201cLily, listen to\u00a0me. It\u2019s not true. Your mom and I…we didn\u2019t do\u00a0anything.\u201d
\u201cDon\u2019t you dare try to\u00a0gaslight\u00a0me,\u201d she snapped, her voice icy. \u201cI\u00a0saw the way you two looked at\u00a0each other. I\u00a0read what you wrote.\u201d
\u201cLily, please,\u201d Daniel said, stepping closer. \u201cI\u00a0love you. Only you. Whatever you think you saw, it\u2019s not what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

She turned to\u00a0me, her eyes filled with pain. \u201cIs\u00a0that true? Did nothing happen?\u201d
I\u00a0hesitated, the weight of\u00a0my\u00a0guilt crushing\u00a0me. \u201cLily, I\u00a0swear…we didn\u2019t do\u00a0anything. But I\u2019m so\u00a0sorry. I\u00a0never meant to\u00a0hurt you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Her face crumpled, and she shook her head. <\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
<\/picture>\n
\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cYou already did,\u201d she said, her voice barely above a\u00a0whisper. Then she turned and walked out, leaving Daniel and me\u00a0standing in\u00a0the wreckage of\u00a0what we\u00a0had done.
\u201cEmma…\u201d Daniel began, but\u00a0I cut him off.
\u201cNo, Daniel. It\u2019s over,\u201d I\u00a0said firmly, tears streaming down my\u00a0face. \u201cFor Lily\u2019s sake, we\u00a0have to\u00a0stop. Completely.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u00a0nodded, his expression one of\u00a0utter defeat. \u201cI\u2019ll do\u00a0whatever it\u00a0takes to\u00a0fix this. For her.\u201d
As\u00a0he\u00a0walked away, I\u00a0sank to\u00a0the floor, knowing that no\u00a0matter how much\u00a0I wanted to\u00a0believe otherwise, some wounds could never be\u00a0healed<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
