Summary
Nancy didn’t really mean to leave Steve for Jonathan. Well, she did. She knew what she was doing when she kissed Jonathan. She knew what she was doing when they decided to go on that road trip together. She knew that it would hurt Steve, and she did it anyway, and when she thinks about it it twists her stomach into a knot. Almost as bad as when she thinks about what she did to Barb.
She was just so angry . And she felt so alone. Nobody understood what she was thinking and feeling, what she wanted—needed—to do. Except for Jonathan.
But she gets it now. It wasn’t that Steve didn’t care that it had happened—that all of it had happened—it was that the only way he could cope was by pretending that it didn’t. It was Jonathan who had actually said it to her. “Maybe he doesn’t talk about it because he’s scared it’ll swallow him up.”
