Chapter 13 - FORGIVENESS
I visited Elizabeth's grave.
I brought flowers.
Daniel stood beside me.
“You don't have to forgive her.”
“I know.”
“Do you?”
I nodded.
“I forgive her.”
He looked surprised.
“Why?”
“Because she was afraid.”
“And Victoria?”
I thought about it.
“I don't know.”
“You don't have to.”
“I know.”
Forgiveness wasn't about pretending nothing happened.
It was about refusing to let the past control my future.
I had spent too long thinking about the night I was thrown into the rain.
Now I thought about something else.
The moment my son was born.
The first time I held him.
The first time Sophia held him.
The first time Lucas called me sister.

The first time Daniel apologized without asking for anything.
Those moments mattered more.
