Chapter 26 - THE FIRST CHRISTMAS CARDTwo years and nine months after the original Christmas, Evan agreed to exchange cards directly with Linda.
No visit yet.
A card.
He chose it himself.
A cartoon dog tangled in Christmas lights.
Inside he wrote:
Merry Christmas. Soccer is going good. I got a B+ in math. I’m still not ready to come to your house. Evan.
I looked at it.
“Want help?”
“No.”
“Want me to send it?”
“Yes.”
Linda replied a week later.
Thank you for writing. B+ in math is good work. I understand about the house. I will not ask again unless you bring it up. Love, Grandma.
Evan read it.
Then said:
“She listened.”
“Yes.”
One successful boundary.

Not redemption.
