I didn’t know when Ryan left. When I went out, Isaw a bank card on the coffee table. What was this? Guilt or compensation? I thought for three seconds and took it. Who would refuse money? It was what I deserved. I resumed my light, free life with Little Blossom. No shadows of Ryan or Emma, Only Patrick occasionally contacted me, intentionally or unintentionally sharing updates about Ryan and Emma. For instance, Ryan’s visit to me was unknown to the Carter family and Emma. And Ryan didn’t bring Emma home, keeping her elsewhere. Emma had a big fight, gave Ryan the silent treatment for three days, and attempted to disappear again. But this time, Ryan didn’t look for her, and she returned on her own. Patrick asked about my plans. I thought seriously–I had no plans. Life goes on, the world doesn’t stop for anyone. Past grievances were gone with the wind. I just wanted to live well in the future.
