Acknowledging Her Faults
As we continued talking, I saw Lily’s eyes shift just a little. There was a defiance, sure, but there was also an acceptance sneaking in.
Her posture relaxed a bit as she listened. ‘I get it. I know I messed up,’ she finally said. Her voice was quiet, but the confession was big.
Maybe she wasn’t done fighting against the world, but this was a start. I nodded, hoping this meant we could move forward.
