Chapter 12 - THE GUESTS WHO LAUGHEDSeveral guests sent apologies.

Most were terrible.

I’m sorry things got out of hand.

No.

I didn’t realize who you were.

Worse.

One message came from a woman named Helen Cho.

She wrote:

I laughed when your bag opened because everyone around me laughed. I did not know your name, and that should not matter. I am embarrassed by how easily I joined cruelty when I thought there would be no consequence.

Charlotte read that one twice.

Then replied:

Thank you for saying exactly what you did.

That was all.

Not every apology needed reconciliation.

Accuracy mattered first.
