Chapter 7 - Sarah’s first apology
Sarah texted Michael three days later.
Not me.
I am sorry Olivia was hurt.
Michael showed me.
I said:
“That is not an apology.”
He agreed.
Then Sarah wrote:
I reacted too strongly because Emily undermines every rule I set.
Still not.
Then:
I would never intentionally hurt my granddaughter.
She had intentionally slapped her.
Michael wrote back:
Do not contact us until you can say what you did without changing the subject.
May you like
That was the first time I saw him choose clarity over peace.
It did not come easily.
