Chapter 14 - COREY’S LETTERS
Corey wrote from prison.
The first letters begged.
The later letters explained.
Then one finally named.
I BROUGHT YOU THERE.
I READ THE PLAN.
I KNEW THEY WANTED YOUR SIGNATURE.
I WATCHED HIM HIT YOU.
I CHOSE MY FATHER FOR THREE SECONDS.
THOSE THREE SECONDS TOLD YOU WHO I WAS.
Emily read that letter.
She did not answer immediately.
Months later, she wrote:
THOSE THREE SECONDS DID NOT CREATE YOU. THEY REVEALED YOU.
Corey accepted it.
He asked to have contact with Grace someday.
Emily answered:
THAT WILL BE HER DECISION WHEN SHE IS OLD ENOUGH.
No promise.

No permanent denial.
Choice belonged to the child.
