She had thought about holding on, not divorcing Brad, and continuing the life they had.
But deep down, she knew there was a barrier in her heart she couldn’t overcome.

“Noemi, don’t worry. Deanna is an adult now. She will be alright soon. And Brian, he is okay now,
right?” Selina tried to reassure Noemi.
