Evelyn & Tobias — The Silver Cross
The conversation was not warm, but it was not false either.
On the way out I realized I had stopped expecting a single apology to fix the past.
I could decide what contact I wanted without surrendering the right to remember.
That evening I told Tobias what had happened.
“Are you okay?” he asked.
“I am.”
“Do you want me to meet her?”
“Only if you want to.”
