Chapter 11 - Rachel Came Home
Rachel visited the following Christmas.
First time in four years.
Oliver initially hid behind Maya.
Then Rachel gave him a dinosaur.
Instant friendship.
We did not discuss Evelyn during dinner.
That felt revolutionary.
After Oliver slept, Rachel and I sat outside.
“Do you hate her?” she asked.

“I don't trust her.”
“Different?”
“Completely.”
Rachel nodded.
“I think I hate her.”
“You're allowed.”
“Thanks.”
We sat quietly.

“I missed you.”
I looked at my sister.
