I used to think you loved Marcus more because you rescued him more often. Now I understand you rescued both of us so many times that we learned not to rescue ourselves. That was not your fault. What I did was my choice.
I will accept whatever happens next.
I agreed to see her.
Rachel entered the interview room wearing the same plain uniform Marcus had worn.
Her hair was tied back.
She sat down but did not look directly at me.
“I heard the farm workers own the land now.”
“They do.”
“Are they happy?”
“Yes.”
She nodded.
“Good.”
The word surprised me.
Rachel placed both hands on the table.
“I don’t deserve to ask you anything.”
“Then don’t.”
She flinched, but continued.
“I wanted to tell you that I’m pleading guilty to the forgery and the @ss/@ult conspiracy charges.”
“You should discuss that with your lawyer.”
