At My Engagement Dinner, a Barefoot Little Girl Pointed at My Fiancée’s Ring—Then She Called My Wife, Dead for Five Years, Her Mother

Chapter 24 / 30
Chapter 24 - The Bedroom
I had kept one box of Emma’s things.
Letters.
Photographs.
Her favorite scarf.
A book with the bookmark still inside.
I showed her.
She sat on the floor.
“You kept this?”
“All of it.”
She opened our wedding album.
Lily climbed beside her.
“That’s Mommy.”
“Yes.”
“That’s Daddy.”
“Yes.”
Lily pointed at Victoria standing among the bridesmaids.
“Bad lady.”
Emma gently corrected her.
“Victoria made very bad choices.”
“Is she bad?”
Emma looked at me.
Then back at Lily.
“We don’t have to decide what somebody is forever. We decide what they’re allowed to do around us.”
