Chapter 20 - THE FIRST VISIT BACK
My daughter was eight when she agreed to see my parents together.
Neutral garden.
Daylight.
No estate dining room.
No pantry.
My mother cried when she saw her.
My daughter did not hug.
My mother did not ask.
Good.
My father said:
“You’ve gotten tall.”
My daughter answered:
“So have you.”
He laughed.
He had not.
Then she asked him directly:
“Why did you say Daddy couldn’t save me?”
Everyone froze.
My father answered:
“Because I was angry that you trusted him more than me.”
Honest.
Then:
“Was that bad?”
“Yes.”
“Do you still?”
“No.”

She nodded.
That was enough for one day.
