Chapter 13

Madison pled guilty to assault and child endangerment-related conduct.

She avoided jail because she cooperated.

I hated that.

Then Karen reminded me the evidence she gave helped protect Lily.

Justice sometimes has an ugly shape.

Madison wrote an apology.

Emily,

I entered your home knowing I did not belong there. I touched your child. I hit you. Daniel lied to me, but I also wanted the lie to be true. I am sorry.

Madison

I read it once.

Then filed it away.

No reply.

No forgiveness ceremony.

Some apologies are records, not bridges.
