Chapter 24 - Alessandra does not forgive me for everything

One night she said:
“You keep acting like Lucille is the reason we lost a year.”
“She is part of it.”
“Yes.”
“Voss.”
“Yes.”
Then:
“You too.”
I went quiet.
She continued.
“I found Sebastian’s records because nobody in your family believed women needed to know how anything worked.”
True.
“I went to investigators because I did not trust family channels.”
True.
“I stayed away because your protection has always meant deciding for everyone.”
Also true.
I asked:
“What do you want from me?”
“Ask.”
“For what?”
“Everything.”
