Chapter 12 - SERENA APOLOGIZED TO PAIGE BEFORE MEMonths later, Serena wrote Paige.

The first draft was rejected by the therapist because it centered Serena’s fear.

The final version:

Paige, I grabbed your arm because I wanted to stop you from telling your father what you saw.

Good.

I threatened that he might send you away because I knew that fear would make you easier to silence.

Hard.

Accurate.

That was cruel.

Yes.

You did the right thing by asking what medication I gave Grandma.

Then:

You were not responsible for what happened afterward.

Important.

Paige read it at thirteen.

Then said:

“I don’t want to answer.”

May you like

She didn’t.

No forced closure.
