With that, she took her plate to the sink, then left the kitchen in typical dramatic form.
Eleanor looked at her sister. “What were you thinking bringing up Dad like that?”
“I’m tired of lying about it. We know how it was like between them right before he died. But of course, we can never discuss it. I guess maybe what you said last night at the party rubbed off on me. It’s time to start speaking my mind. Time to stop worrying about everyone else’s feelings. I think you should give Max a shot. More than that, I think you’re looking for any excuse to do it.”
Eleanor sighed. “He hurt me, Allie. Bad.”
“You were different then. Not as independent as you are now. I don’t believe what Mom said at all. I think people do change all the time. Things happen. Max almost died! You don’t think that had any effect on him figuring out what he wanted in his life going forward?”
“Another good point. What if wanting me back has nothing to do with me?” Eleanor suggested. “What if this is just him clinging to any part of his former life? He came home to nothing.”
“And if it’s not?”
How did she explain her fear? “I wasn’t enough for him back then, Allie. As much as he loved me, I wasn’t enough.”
“I don’t believe that for a second. Because if that were true, really true, he’d divorce you and move on. You know what I think? Maybe back then you weren’t strong enough to handle what you two had. Maybe that’s why those long trips freaked you out. I know for a fact that’s not the case now. The Eleanor Harper I know can definitely handle it.”
Eleanor eyed her sister. “When did you become so wise?”
“While you all weren’t looking. Look, you already agreed to go away with him. I’m just saying keep an open mind.”
Eleanor didn’t know if she could agree to that. But she also knew the only way out of her marriage was through Max. Nothing was going to change that. And this was the last piece of his parents that he had. Being there for him wasn’t out of the question.
“I should probably tell Daniel.”
“Yeah, if it were me, and I had no shot with you, I would want to know, too.”
“Allie!”
“Sorry. I’m Team Max hashtag teammax. All the way.”

IT WAS SUNDAY NIGHT, and Eleanor was in her condo in downtown Denver. She’d spent the past few hours dealing with emails that had backed up over the weekend. Now that she was caught up, there was no use denying to herself that she’d been putting off the inevitable.
Eleanor looked at the phone in her hand. It would be so easy to just text Daniel. Did one dinner and one disastrous engagement party really make him eligible to be updated about her personal life?
