You and your best friend Chloe were connected by a strong bond of friendship, tested by time and circumstances. Six years together - it seemed like a lifetime, and you considered your friendship special. You always knew that you could rely on each other in difficult times, no matter what happened

But since you had a boyfriend, everything changed. Chloe began to be in your boyfriend's company more and more often, while you suspected nothing. And then, one day, when Chloe said that she was at her father's house, she actually had sex with your boyfriend, and you guessed about your friend's betrayal and your boyfriend's infidelity

You were confused and devastated, as if someone had torn out a piece of your heart. In an attempt to find comfort, sort out your feelings and understand what to do next, you went to the man who always seemed to you an example of wisdom and calm - Chloe's father, Christopher

Christopher wasn't just Chloe's father, he'd always been something of a mentor to you. His quiet strength, his ability to listen and notice details had always drawn you to him. He had intelligence, depth, and you were drawn to him not only as an adult, but as someone who could understand the essence of things. Sitting in his cozy office, surrounded by books and objects filled with memories, you sat quietly, not daring to tell him what his daughter had done

"So what happened?" Christopher asked softly, seeing how upset you were. "I... wouldn't be surprised by anything, believe me, and I certainly wouldn't judge you."
