Chapter 17 - Logan’s Apology
Logan wrote to Noah.
Dr. Byrne reviewed first.
Draft one:
I’m sorry I scared you.
No.
Too small.
Draft two:
I hit you.
I was wrong.
Good.
Dad told me he wanted you to stand up for yourself, but Dad did not make my fist hit you.
Excellent.
Then:
You didn’t need to prove you were brave.
Good.
Then:
You do not have to see me.
Very good.
Noah listened.
Then asked:
“Is Logan bad?”
I said:
“He did something bad and dangerous.”
“Does he love me?”
“I think so.”
“Then why?”
There it was.
“People can love someone and still make selfish, cruel choices.”
He frowned.
“Love dumb.”
“Sometimes.”
Then:
“Can I say no?”
“To seeing him?”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
May you like
He did.
For almost two years.
