I didn’t feel like I had another way out.
My chest closed.
Where is she now?
I don’t know.
The revelation that changed everything
I thought that was the revelation that was going to break my life in two. But Anna had barely started.
Have you ever tried to let me know?
“Yes, I tried. I went to your mother's house. I thought maybe I'd drink her I'd get her to accept us
and help me communicate with you.
“And?
Ruth didn't give me your number. And it reminded me of what would happen to my family if I tried to contact you.
Is that why you disappeared?
“That’s why he said to me.

“That you have already remade your life.
With whom?
With Carol.
I stared at her.
Did you know about Carol?
Only what Ruth told me.
“We were already together?”
