Chapter 29 Summary: “Real Life”

Before the bachelor/bachelorette party, Harriet falls apart. She can’t stand pretending they’re in love because it no longer feels like acting. She blames herself for the breakup (even though Martin kissed her), while Wyn sometimes acts like he hates her or feels nothing, but other times kisses her like he still loves her.

Wyn holds her as she cries, promising their break-up wasn’t her fault. After he lost his dad, he was drowning. He never thought Harriet was cheating, but blamed himself for being greedy for her time instead of supporting her hard work. Since Wyn knew she’d never break up with him while he was grieving, he let her go because he didn’t want to trap her. Because she never wanted to wedding plan, he figured he wasn’t her priority. When she never got mad for him missing a phone call or visit, Wyn felt like she didn’t want to plan their future. She sobs harder, explaining she was trying to protect his feelings and let him find joy in Montana.

When Wyn was depressed, he believed he could no longer make her happy. He’s finally doing well, taking depression medication, and building a successful business. He has never stopped loving her.
