"I erm - I saw you out one afternoon with someone else. Stopping you didn't seem fair if you were happy." He admitted with a sigh. In hindsight, the man she was out with was likely Gus - the gay, uninterested man. Asking for clarity then hadn't made sense, not when her attack was still so fresh in his mind and he'd thought she was moving beyond it. Obviously, it was a mistake to not ask, but there was little to be done now.
Dory sighed again and sank down along the wall until he was sitting fully on the floor, his elbows resting on his knees. He'd been sure Winnie was completely in the dark about Mabel, but that was yet another mistake. "And then I got involved with someone else for a myriad of wrong reasons." Mabel deserved someone so much better than he — someone who was better able to provide her the type of life she yearned for. Someone able to fully commit. "And its end took a bit for me to move past."
Moving from marriage and a baby to nothing had shaken him. And, he would have married her still had she not discovered the very box resting on Winnie's bed.
