Chapter 8 - Dominic’s Confession
Dominic visited a month later.
He brought whiskey.
“I owe you something.”
“What?”
“Truth.”
He admitted laughing that anniversary night deliberately.
“Why?”
“To see if Graham would stop it.”
“He didn’t.”
“No.”
“You tested him using me.”
“Yes.”
I was furious.
“You had no right.”
“I know.”
He apologized.
Then revealed Graham had defended me after I left.
“How?”
Once lounge door closed, Graham reportedly said, “If any of you ever speak about Elena like that when she’s in the room, you lose your tongue.”
I stared.
“That’s not romantic.”
“No.”
“It’s hypocritical.”
“Yes.”
“Why tell me?”
“Because truth should include the ugly and the inconvenient.”
Good answer.

I forgave Dominic eventually.
Not immediately.
