"Yes."
"And?"
Seren folded her hands on the table. She looked at them, then at him.
"She listened," she said. "She heard me. She didn't forgive me, she said she couldn't do that yet, but she listened to all of it. Everything I wrote down." She paused. "She tried to give me money. I said no."
Seb closed his eyes for a moment. Something moved across his face that she had no name for either.
"Good," he said. "That was right."
"Daddy." She waited until he opened his eyes. "I need to tell you something, and I need you to hear it the same way she heard me. Without interrupting."
He straightened slightly. He picked up the mug and set it down again without drinking from it.
"All right," he said.
"I remember," she said. "I remember everything now. Most of it, the rest keeps coming." She watched his face.
