Chapter 13 / 15
Chapter 14 - Evelyn Asks For One Meeting
Evelyn eventually asked to meet me alone.

“I thought Daniel would resent you forever if he lost the assignment.”
“You made that decision for him.”
“Yes.”
“You made it for me too.”
“Yes.”
“And for four children.”
She cried.
“Yes.”
There was no explanation left.
Evelyn had convinced herself family legacy required intervention.
Then every new lie required another.
She asked whether I could forgive her.
“I don’t know.”
She nodded.
That was the answer she received.
The children had limited contact with her under professional guidance.
Some relationships were rebuilt.
Some remained narrow.
