Chapter 21 - EVELYN’S FIRST APOLOGY

Her first letter failed.

I’m sorry the wedding day became traumatic.

No.

Second:

I’m sorry I reacted badly to the necklace.

No.

Her therapist apparently helped.

Third:

I pushed you into the bathroom and locked you there because you would not give me something that belonged to you. I had no right to do that.

Good.

Then:

I told you your mother’s things would disappear because I wanted your father’s new life to feel more important than his old one.

Better.

Then:

Your mother’s memory was never mine to control.

Grace was nine when her therapist read it with her.

She asked:

“Answer?”

May you like

“No need.”

She chose not to.
