Chapter 11 — Healing the Little Girl’s Heart
Richard sold the mansion.
Maya asked why.
“Because this house remembers bad things.”
They moved somewhere smaller.
Somewhere warm.
Somewhere peaceful.
Richard cooked breakfast every morning.
He packed her lunch.
He attended school events.
He became the father he should have always been.
One night Maya asked:
“Daddy?”
“Yes?”
“Did you love me when I was difficult?”
May you like
Richard smiled.
“You were never difficult.”
