Chapter 18 - THE SHED WAS TORN DOWNEmma refused to walk near the storage shed.

For months.

Then one spring, the trust approved renovation of the service yard.

Lucas asked:

“Do you want the shed removed?”

Emma said:

“Yes.”

So we removed it.

Not burned.

Not smashed in revenge.

Contractors dismantled it.

The bricks were salvaged.

Emma watched for ten minutes.

Then got bored and went inside for lemonade.

Perfect.

The place that had terrified her became construction noise.

Nothing more.

Some bricks were later used to build garden beds.

Emma planted strawberries there.

That was healing I could understand.
