Chapter 25 - WHAT HAPPENED TO SERENASerena did not go to prison for years.

People online wanted that.
Her conduct was serious.
It was also different from Dennis’s.
Her negotiated consequences included probationary supervision, community service, counseling requirements, and strict compliance with court orders.
She lost her job after publicity.
Moved.
Stopped drinking for a time.
Whether that lasted was none of my business.
She wrote Meadow a letter.
Not directly.
Through Meadow’s therapist.

She wrote:
I loved being your sister and still chose something that destroyed the right to be trusted as one.
I folded the letter.
