#30: Helen Feels Used

Helen was angry.
She asked whether Sophie had studied her from the beginning. Had every conversation about her husband been a way to collect information?
Sophie admitted that she had listened closely because she wanted to know him.
But she said her care for Helen had not been an act.
She had not expected to stay in Helen’s life after moving out.
Their relationship became real, even though it began with a hidden truth.
Helen understood the words, but she was not ready to accept them.
