Jonah is something. Jonah’s opinion matters. And she doesn’t want him to hurt because of her. She and Jonah will never be what they were. Too much has happened. But maybe they could become something else. She decides to take the first step. “Jonah, ” she says. He looks over at her. “I’m sorry, ” he says, voice low.“ Don’t be. I forgive you, ” she tells him. It sounds so formal. I forgive you. But it helps to say it out loud.“ Thanks. I don’t know if I deserve that. But thanks.”“ You do. Of course you do.” Hallelujah says it firmly. “And–I want to.” I’ve missed you, she adds silently. She’s not ready to say that part. Not yet. Kathryn Holmes
