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.
