Chapter 25 - GRACE MEETS EVELYN
Grace was twenty-three when she requested a meeting.
Evelyn was fifty-four.
Neutral café.
I did not attend.
Grace told me afterward.
She asked:
“Did you really think marrying Dad made Mom’s things yours?”
Evelyn answered:
“No. I thought marrying him should make me important enough that everyone would stop separating them from me.”
Honest.
Then:
“Why the locket?”
Evelyn:
“Because you were the one person I couldn’t persuade.”
Grace was quiet.
Then:
“I was four.”
Evelyn cried.
“I know.”

No friendship followed.
