Little girl, I am so sorry. 14 years old, how could you have known. 21, and I should have known better. And yet here I am, not far, have I flown. Do you see the house, up on the hill? It knew we'd be back, It waited, and still- I swore this time was different. How many times I wish I'd listened. Just variations on a theme! Little girl, I am so sorry. I've led us back into the dark. Back to this place, these familiar woods, filled with the pain we'd worked so hard- to rid ourselves of completely. To start fresh, to start anew. And of all the lies I've ever told, I'm most ashamed I lied to you.
