Chapter 20 - Rachel and Anna

Unexpectedly, Rachel and Anna became friends.

Not close.

Friendly.

Both had spent years living around Michael’s version of family.

Rachel apologized for never knowing Anna.

Anna said:

“You didn’t know because everyone cooperated with erasing me.”

That included me.

I accepted.

They shared wine at Willow House one evening.

Rachel joked:

“I wore black to Evelyn’s will reading because I thought I was attending a financial funeral.”

Anna laughed.

I did too.

Humor arrived where shame lived.

Good sign.
