Chapter 22 - Helen Retires

Helen left six months later.

Voluntarily.

Sixty-two.

Enough.

Michael threw her a dinner.

She hated attention.

We did it anyway.

During dessert she said:

“I should have spoken sooner.”

Michael answered:

“Yes.”

Everyone stared at him.

He continued:

“So should I.”

Helen smiled.

That was all.

Later she told me:

“Don’t stay somewhere just because you won there.”

May you like

I understood.

Surviving a bad place does not make the place your destiny.
