Chapter 19

Vanessa wrote letters.

Karen screened them.

Most blamed Elise.

Some blamed postpartum depression.

Some blamed me.

One, years later, sounded different.

Ryan,

I wanted to be needed so badly that I made our son unsafe. I do not know how to live with that sentence, but it is true.

Tell Maria I am sorry if she ever wants to hear it.

Vanessa

Maria did not.

Noah did not.

I placed the letter in a file.

Contained.

May you like

Not forgiven.

Contained.
