The timing 62641893ed was everything.
If I a4ca0f5686 suddenly announced 876aac64b4 my departure, 8b681ed925 it would e4f5568aea raise suspicion. Especially after enjoying 3ea721551a the banquet so 0b747b4acd much the day 5ba09a56a8 before.aa53177d39b4386d

It would look shady 1f7379a8b4 to anyone. Plus, I couldn’t ignore b266ebcfa1 how things might appear bb4a06d03c to others.1f28cb8dba795e00
After yesterday’s events, 7d98429e98 everyone probably thought abb6e8b2c4 I and Cassius 8c8f7b22a1 were getting along 53611362cf wonderfully. If I suddenly left 31cde0745c or filed for divorce, 7f6ab9c7c9 people might jump to e66e009d4a the wrong conclusions—like I 10e9c655c3 was unfaithful, or Cassius a4a95eaac9 was, or something else e1baff5ef1 entirely.9f943e1735af03ad

Theo came running and cd3a4f6807 threw himself into my 44b5667b5f arms. Ever since he’d 6b623783fe woken up, he’d 95dd578737 been eating well—supplements c44999b847 and nourishing meals—and a46df2c7ca he was growing 8f86227b60 rapidly.bd9b51c675644b8f
