Nora found herself standing off to the side watching everyone, bruised and battered, smiling, happy. The music blended in with all the voices, everyone talking at once. The house was a mess, and chaos abounded. But she found herself viewing it all through Jane’s eyes: Nora had a beautiful family, and she was a very lucky woman.
Despite everything that had happened, it pained her to imagine how difficult it must have been for Jane as a young girl trying to navigate grief after her family’s sudden death.
If only Nora had known Jane existed.
If only she could have helped her.
If only.
