Chapter 15 - BRADLEY’S LETTERS
Bradley wrote from prison.
The first letter blamed Richard.
Victoria returned it.
The second explained childhood.
She kept it unopened.
The third named actions.
I LOOSENED THE BRAKES BEFORE THE PARTY.
I KICKED THE BRACE.
I WANTED YOU TO LOOK FRAUDULENT.
I KNEW THE WATER COULD KILL YOU.
I LAUGHED BECAUSE I WANTED THE ROOM TO STAY WITH ME.
Victoria read it once.
Then placed it in the case archive.
No reply.
Years later, Bradley wrote:
I THOUGHT IF YOU WERE WEAK, I WOULD FINALLY BE ENOUGH.
Victoria answered one sentence.
MY BODY WAS NEVER THE MEASURE OF YOUR WORTH.

He did not write again.
That was enough.
