My eyes become watery.
She got her revenge.
El got her revenge.
Kat puts her hand on my forearm.
“The rest is a gift,” Kat says, turns, and is gone.
I stare after her.
Bewildered.
They drive off, and my mind starts processing again.
I risk a glance at Jane.
She stands next to me.
Staring at me.
I want to say something.
Explain everything.
But no words come over my lips.
“You will tell me when you feel ready,” she says as she puts her arm on my back.
There’s another photo.
I gasp in complete shock.
My mother.
It’s footage of my mother being shot by my own father.
My mind can’t grasp what I look at.
My breath flattens.
He killed my mother.
He lied to me.
He—
A whirlwind of emotions consumes me.
I somehow find myself upstairs in the studio.
I didn’t even realize how we got there.
I look at Jane.
I am still processing what just happened.
Sophie found me.
