I was always the odd one in the Sorensen family, even though I was Mom and Dad’s daughter by blood. I stared at them, and one question kept running through my mind.
“Do you have any idea what they did to me?” I asked.
Mom and Dad fell silent, their eyes flicking to each other like they were guilty. They knew exactly what Elias and Melvin had done. But still, they blamed me.
They threw the blame on me for going to the police, not keeping my lips sealed, and screwing everything up. However, did I actually deserve it just because they didn’t like me?
“Jean, we’re family. Can’t you just be the bigger person and let it go? You’re disabled now, and you can’t have kids. Who else will take care of you down the road other than them?”

“I can’t forgive them,” I replied, shaking my head without a second thought.
Why didn’t Elias and Melvin ever think about the fact that I might never forgive them when they went ahead and did all that to
me? Would they even care if I forgave them, especially if I hadn’t gone to the police and made everything public?
Mom and Dad wouldn’t stop pleading for them.
“But they truly regret it! You have no idea–they’ve been a mess lately, crying in front of us, begging you to forgive them. If you
hadn’t reported to the police, they wouldn’t be banned from leaving the country. And then they would’ve come here themselves
instead of sending us.”
“Exactly. They never meant to hurt you that badly. They just wanted to stop your performance and your wedding. No one thought things would spiral out of control. They’ve felt awful about it ever since the incident.”
“Elias and Melvin swore that if you’re willing to write a letter of forgiveness and drop the case, they’ll take care of you for the rest of your life. You wouldn’t have to worry about a thing.”
