Chapter 16
Lily and I became friends carefully.
She had recorded Brooke but waited too long to speak.
She knew that.
I knew it too.
One day she said, “I should have stopped her before.”
“Yes,” I said.
She flinched.
Then nodded.
“I know.”
“But you did stop lying.”
She looked up.
“That doesn’t make it okay.”
“No. But it makes it better than staying quiet forever.”
That was the truth.
Not full forgiveness.
Not punishment.
