Chapter 11 - Susan’s Old Notebook Changes Everything
While clearing a cabinet, Rachel found one of Susan’s old notebooks.

Susan had seen the misunderstanding years ago.
She had tried to correct it.
Emily had chosen to remember only the comforting version.
When we showed her the page, she whispered:
“I forgot that.”
Rachel said:
“No. You forgot the part you didn’t like.”

That was cruel.
It was also close to true.
