Chapter 18 - Victor Meets Sophia
Victor learned daughter alive from federal agents.
He collapsed into chair.
When allowed meeting, Sophia set conditions.
No lawyers.
No touching without permission.
Victor agreed.
He entered room and stopped.
“Sophia.”
She stood.
He cried.
She did not move.
“You're alive.”
“Yes.”
“I thought—”
“I know.”
Victor started toward her.
She raised hand.
He stopped.
That stop mattered.
She said:
“You blamed Marcus.”
“Yes.”
“You hurt him.”
“Yes.”
“You almost killed him.”
Victor closed eyes.
“Yes.”
“Because you loved me?”
He tried answer.
“No.”
Sophia looked surprised.
“I told myself that.”
He swallowed.
“It was because I needed someone to punish.”
Truth.
Sophia cried then.
Not reunion.
Grief.
