Chapter 25 - Lenora sees him again
Ten months after the incident, Cade agreed to meet Lenora.
Therapist’s office.
No beach.
Lenora sat across from him.
No gifts.
No dramatic jewelry.
She said:
“I’m sorry I took your vest.”
Cade held his airplane.
“And pushed?”
“Yes. I’m sorry I pushed you.”
“Why?”
“I thought making you face something scary would make the fear go away.”
“Did it?”
“No.”
Simple.
Then:
“Do you still think I’m baby?”
Lenora’s face changed.
“I think you are seven.”
“Seven not baby.”
“No.”
He looked satisfied.
