Chapter 24 - MARK EARNS BACK TRUST SLOWLY
Jessica did not divorce Mark.
Not immediately.
She required separation.
Therapy.
Full disclosure.
Mark told Daniel everything he remembered.
No minimizing.
He apologized to me.
I said:
“I’m not the person you need forgiveness from most.”
He looked at Lily.
“No.”
For a long time, I did not allow him around her unsupervised.
He accepted it.
Eventually, at Tyler’s tenth birthday, Lily was invited.
This time I stayed.
No one objected.
Mark stood near the patio.
The old post remained.
The chain was gone.
Lily noticed.
So did I.
She walked to the post.
Touched it.
Then walked away.
No speech.
No destruction.
It was wood.
May you like
Margaret had made it mean something.
Lily did not have to keep the meaning.
