What it sounds like
He once said Daphne was enough, but claims that was before he truly knew her.
What it really means
“He cruelly implies that knowing Daphne better changed his mind and that she is no longer enough for him.”
Said today
“I meant it before I got to know you—and now I don’t.”
What was happening
Daphne reminds Simon that he told her she was enough. During their furious argument over his deception about having children, he throws this line back at her, turning past reassurance into a personal rejection.
