Chapter 13 - Claire Apologizes To Noah
Two years later, Claire asked to apologize.
Not to me.
To Noah.
He was nine.
I let him choose.
He agreed if I stayed in the room.
Claire sat across from him.
“I embarrassed you at my wedding.”
Noah nodded.
“I thought making your dad leave would help me get something I wanted.”
He stared at her.
“That was stupid.”
Claire almost smiled.
“Yes.”
“You dumped dessert.”
“Yes.”
“And Grandma slapped me.”
Claire’s eyes filled.
“Yes.”
Noah asked:
“Did you tell her to?”
Claire answered carefully.
“I knew she was going to be hard on you. I did not stop her. That was wrong.”

It was not perfect.
It was honest enough to matter.
