Chapter 81 - Chapter 081 – Elaine In The Kitchen
Elaine came in March with Naomi present.
First time inside since the night of the sheriff.
She stood in the kitchen and began crying before removing her coat.
I almost told her to stop.
Then I remembered all the times I had been told my feelings were inconvenient.
So I let her cry.
Afterward, she wiped her face and said, “I wanted the house because I thought if I controlled the outcome, I wouldn’t have to feel guilty about leaving you alone.”
That was ugly.
It was also honest.
I poured tea.
“You left me alone to avoid feeling guilty about leaving me alone.”
May you like
She nodded.
We sat with that until the kettle clicked off.
