After her phone call with Emily, Mari lay on her bed thinking about their discussion and wondering if Emily and Callan would truly be okay.
And then she smiled as she thought about their discussion advice she'd given Emily and how wise she believed she'd sounded.
If it was before she met Jax, she would most likely have taken Emily's side and supported her stance on the misunderstanding.
But now that she was in a relationship herself, she understood something she didn't understand before.
Love needed patience. And one had to be more tolerant in a relationship.
Who else deserved more tolerance than a partner?
As long as it wasn't to her detriment and it wouldn't take anything from her, she was learning to be more tolerant.
And sometimes it needed you to bend a little. Not to lose yourself. But to hold on to what mattered.
And that was the only reason she was reaching for her phone now to call Jax who had yet to call or text her since they last spoke last night.
