Chapter 26 - Lily Chooses the Visit
At ten, Lily asked to see Grant.
Clara did not immediately agree.
They discussed it with Lily’s counselor.
Evelyn did not pressure.
Grant did not ask.
Eventually, a short public visit.
Clara nearby.
Grant arrived early.
Lily walked in holding Clara’s hand.
Grant stood.
He looked older.
“Hi.”
“Hi.”
Silence.
Then Lily asked,
“Did you really try to take our house?”
Grant swallowed.
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because I wanted control of things that weren’t mine.”
“Did you hate Mom?”
“No.”
“Dad?”
Grant’s face broke.
“No.”
“You were mean to him.”
“Yes.”
Lily considered.
“Okay.”
Grant looked confused.
“That’s all?”
“I didn’t say it’s fine.”
He almost laughed.
“No.”
They ate lunch.
No forced reunion.
