So, I reversed into a friend's car the other day. Not hard. I made two scratches on the front of her car. No dent. Her au pair was parked in it when it happened.
I called my friend to tell her. I was so worried about the cost. So was h.
She shrugged it off saying the car was old and pretty knackered and she would let me know. I went round the other night to have a look at the car at her request. It looked like I thought. Two scratches about two inches long.
She gave me a cup of tea and I texted h to tell him what she said and added "Hmmm. She's going to get money out of us". And sent it to her by mistake.
Why? Why did I type that? Why didn't I text "and she's being so understanding and non demanding about it all. We need to pay for the scratches."
She said to me I sent the text to the wrong person. I could have died. And felt deep shame and apologised.
How can I make things okay? She's acting all normal and friendly but I can't bear that she thinks I'm this nasty person. I mean, if I read that text I would be so offended. We are friends. We help each other out with childcare etc.
