I had to move out, find a new job, and deal with the fallout from my public humiliation and the impending divorce. But more than that, I had to confront what I’d done to Lila. The weight of my actions bore down on me, and I felt lost, adrift in a sea of regret.
I reached out to Lila a few days later, hoping to apologize sincerely. I didn’t expect forgiveness, but I needed her to know I was truly sorry.

“Lila, I know I can’t undo the past, but I want you to know how deeply sorry I am,” I said when she answered the phone.
Her voice was cold, distant. “Dylan, sorry doesn’t change what you did. But if it helps you sleep at night, fine. Apology accepted. Just sign the divorce papers and let’s move on.”
Her words stung, but I knew I deserved them. I started therapy, determined to address my issues and become a better person.

I vowed to rebuild my life with integrity, no matter how long or challenging the path might be.
