Chapter 793 Rag Doll(Incest/Taboo):>Ep45

• By the time I was finished, Yaz was looking at me with a shocked expression on her face, and Rick had his face buried in the crook of her neck, his own shoulders shaking. I was wrung out by the whole thing, but it had been cathartic, I felt cleaned out for the first time. I slumped back in the chair, emotionally drained, shocked and ashamed of myself. Finally, I had learned what happens when you look the Gorgon in the face; I'd dug deep down inside myself and pulled out all the stuff that had accumulated, the parts of me that should never have been, and showed it all to the light, and while I felt deeply soiled by what I'd finally admitted to, paradoxically I also, finally, felt clean for the first time ever.
• Yaz pulled Rick closer, smoothing his hair as she whispered to him, soothing him while Shari and I watched as my brother paid his own price for what we'd allowed to happen to Nicky. I felt a soft hand on my forehead as Shari curled her arm around me and pulled me close to her.
• "Poor baby, carrying that around, no wonder you feel so isolated. You can let all that go now, Bobby, you shared it and it's gone now. From what you say about Nicky, I think he's forgiven you, he seems like he wouldn't have carried any of this around with him. One day we'll find him, or he'll come home, you'll see. Have you any pictures of him? I'd really like to see what my big brother looks like."
