She had wanted answers.

A brother.
A mother who had been rejected.
And a woman who had destroyed her childhood.
She was angry at everyone.
Especially Michael.
“You got the life I should have had.”
Michael nodded.
“I know.”
“Stop saying that.”

Michael smiled sadly.
“You can blame me if you want.”
“I don't.”
“Then blame me anyway.”
She laughed through her tears.
