Chapter 25 - Sophie visits Elena without visiting Elena

Near the end of Elena’s custodial term, Sophie asked:

“Can I see Aunt Elena?”

I did not answer alone.

Therapist.

Child specialist.

Letters from Elena.

Elena had sent none directly due order.

Through counsel she wrote one appropriate statement:

I stole money that belonged to Sophie and I frightened her at the cabin. I am not asking her to forgive me.

No excuses.

Sophie did not want a prison visit.

She wanted to send a drawing.

Allowed through attorney after review.

Drawing:

Teddy bear.

Blue ribbon.

No words.

Elena received it.

Her lawyer said she cried.

That was all.

No reunion.
