Oh. What Abby said made her feel – still. “I’m glad I did too,” she whispered. “And that you’re happy or at least happier. Maybe being strong’s over-rated. Maybe sometimes it’s okay just to be ourselves.”
Molly considered it. “I don’t know. Whatever you think is best. I feel silly for not knowing already.” It was kind of Abby to help, but that didn’t stop Molly from being ashamed of her own ignorance. “I never wanted to make my dad feel like I thought I was missing out on anything, so I never asked. Does that make sense?”
