Synopsis

Lauren braced herself, anticipating a storm of anger from Terese. Instead, she was met with a quiet plea: a request for help in finding a counselor to address Terese's drinking. She reached out to Brad, but he was unavailable. Lauren then persuaded him that withholding the truth from Terese would ultimately safeguard her recovery, preventing any disruption to her progress. They agreed to postpone the conversation for a day.
