Chapter 114 Zane's Second Shock

• It takes me a while to process it. But Shane sits back down and his incessant tapping fades to a less frequent pace, still there, just subdued now that he feels he is no longer the one being bombarded. Except I am playing the emotional act too well.
• I have gotten to a place where Daisy's personal actions could never hurt me emotionally. Since I had the idea planted in my head and asked her at that lunch meeting, I have gotten over whatever hurt it could cause me. Yes, it stings that I was married to someone like that. I fell in love with a façade and I now have a child with someone who I don't really know. We are bound for life whether I like it or not. I put my career over everything else and just went about my life believing everything was fine at home when in fact, it wasn't.
• I was like the metaphor that compared customers who walk into a high end restaurant, enjoy a great dining experience and then go about their lives, not knowing or caring about the absolute chaos that goes on in the kitchen with the chefs who lose their minds everyday making sure the customers come back. I am the customer. Or at least, five years ago, I was the customer. I believed everything in the background of my personal life was running smoothly, I had a gorgeous wife, a kid that was the literal sun, a promising career at the verge of exploding into the best thing yet, I felt everything was okay. I was on the right track.
