ou always seemed like you knew exactly who you were.” She said and I looked away.

“I didn’t.” I said.

“I know that now.” She said and Charlotte wiped beneath her eye,

“But when we were younger, I didn’t understand that.” She said as she looked toward the grave.

“I thought if I could be better than you, then Dad would finally see me.” She admitted and my throat

tightened.

“So you tried to beat me at everything.” I said.

“Yes.” She said.

“Even when I didn’t know we were competing.” I said.

“That made it worse.” She said as I stared at her.

“Why?” I asked.

“Because you weren’t even trying.” She said and she laughed through a tear.

“I was fighting a battle that only existed in my head.” She added as I reached for her hand and Charlotte looked down at our hands.

“I made terrible choices because of it.” She said.

“Yes.” I said.

“I hurt you because I wanted to prove that I was worth something.” She said.

“I know.” I said.

“I helped Victor.” She said.

“I know.” I said.

“I lied.” She said.

“I know.” I said.

“I betrayed you.” She said.

“I know.” I said and she closed her eyes.

“I am sorry, Paige.” She said as her voice broke.

“You do?” She asked.

“Yes.” I said.

“But you still don’t trust me.” She said.

“Not completely.” I said and Charlotte nodded.

“That’s fair.” She said and I looked toward Uncle Will’s grave.

“Trust doesn’t come back because we want it to.” I said.

“I know.” She said.

“It takes time.” I said.

“I know.” She said.

“And I’m not going to pretend everything is fixed because we hugged once.” I said as Charlotte

smiled faintly.

“I wouldn’t expect that.” She said.

“But I’m willing to try.” I said and she stared at me.

“Try what?” She asked.

“Being sisters again.” I said and her eyes filled with tears.

“I don’t know how.” She said.

“Neither do I.” I said and I smiled slightly.

“So we figure it out.” I added and Charlotte laughed softly.

“You make everything sound simple.” She said.

“It’s not simple.” I said.

“I know.” She said.

“We just have to keep choosing it.” I said and she nodded.

“I can do that.” She said.

I opened my arms and for a second, Charlotte stared at me.

She held me tightly and the hug felt strange because it had been so long since we had touched without anger standing between us.

Then Charlotte began crying and I held her tighter.
