Chapter 138

• "I slapped Claire for saying the same when Zara was in the hospital post her rape. But, I never met the rapists myself. I never got to see them and after that one time Zara never mentioned or showed, much less act like a rape victim."

They are constantly disturbed and for years they get nightmares. Zara never spoke to me about nightmares since that one time five months ago."
