Chapter 16 - The Unexpected LetterNearly a year after Connor's arrest, a letter arrived.
It was from him.
Kirsten stared at the envelope for several minutes.
She almost threw it away.
Instead, she opened it.
There were no excuses.
No accusations.
No request for money.
Only an apology.
She read it once.
Then twice.
Finally, she folded it.
Kenneth watched from across the office.
"Are you going to answer?"
Kirsten shook her head.
"No."
"Why?"
She smiled softly.
"Because silence can be an answer too."

She placed the letter in a drawer.
