Chapter 24 - Hannah does not return to Dustin

Obvious?

Not always.

Domestic abuse creates complicated attachments.

Dustin wrote letters through counsel.

Apologies.

Explanations.

One:

I panicked because everything I had built was disappearing.

Hannah showed me.

I said nothing.

She asked:

“What do you think?”

“It doesn’t matter what I think.”

“Dad.”

“You already know.”

She laughed once.

Then cried.

“I loved him.”

“I know.”

“That feels stupid.”

“No.”

“Why not?”

“Because his behavior became information you didn’t have when you started loving him.”

She folded the letter.

Never answered.
