Chapter 13 - Vanessa Apologizes To Lily
Two years later, Vanessa asked to apologize.
Lily was eleven.
Sarah let Lily decide.
She agreed to a short meeting.
Vanessa sat across from her.
“I hit you.”
Lily nodded.
“I threw your present.”

“I tried to make you afraid to tell Grandpa what you saw.”
Lily looked up.

Vanessa’s eyes filled.
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because I was afraid of losing money.”
Lily frowned.
“That’s dumb.”
Vanessa almost smiled.
“It was.”
Lily did not hug her.

Nobody asked her to.
The apology ended there.
