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.
