That evening, I stormed home, my heart heavy with hurt. Veronica and Casey were playing in the living room, oblivious to the storm brewing inside me.

“Girls, we need to talk. Now,” I said firmly, gathering them. They exchanged nervous glances but said nothing.

“I know what you’ve been doing. Lying to my boyfriends to scare them away. Why?” I demanded, my voice breaking.

At first, they denied it. But when I threatened to cut off their pocket money and vacations, they finally confessed.

“Mom, we just want you and Dad to get back together. We need both our parents. We need our old life back,” Veronica said, tears streaming down her face.

I felt like my heart was shattering into a million pieces. “But why didn’t you tell me this before?” I asked, choking on my tears.

“We were scared you’d be mad,” Casey whispered.
