“You signed them without asking enough questions.”
Logan looked down.
“That’s fair.”
“It wasn’t meant to be a test,” Albert said.
“I wasn’t waiting for you to fail.
I thought you were an adult making an adult decision.”
“I was acting like a child.”
“You were acting like someone who had grown accustomed to being rescued.”
The truth settled over the room.
Logan did not defend himself.
Albert looked at Chelsea.
“You were not wrong to feel uncomfortable about my help.
I should have made the arrangements clearer.
I should not have allowed either of you to believe that support had no limits.”
“I thought you were judging us,” Chelsea admitted.
“I was disappointed sometimes.”
She flinched.
“But I didn’t think you were bad people,” he continued.
“I thought you were frightened people making expensive choices.”
Chelsea gave a small, pained smile.
“That may be worse.”
