Chapter 22 - Sofia’s Voice

I had recordings of Sofia.

Videos.

Birthday messages.

One in particular showed her sitting beside four-year-old Ellie.

Sofia looked tired.

Thin from treatment.

But smiling.

She told the camera:

“Ellie, if Daddy ever starts acting like he knows everything, remember that he absolutely does not.”

I objected from behind the camera.

Sofia laughed.

Years later, Ellie watched it.

Again.

Again.

Then asked:

“Can dead people choose stuff after?”

“Sometimes they leave instructions.”

“Did Mommy leave instructions about me?”

“Yes.”

“What?”

I thought about the report.

Then answered:

“That people should not use her name to control you.”

Ellie nodded.

May you like

“That’s a good rule.”

Best summary in the entire case.
