The closer we got to home, the harder the questions got. But I held on to why. I thought I knew the answer to this one: he had simply met someone better. In truth, I think I had always felt a tad inferior to Sam. The lack of my why made this clear. Besides, the other questions were more fact-based, whereas why tiptoed into an emotional realm I wasn’t quite ready for. It required more personal excavation. I could be roped into the why.
