Chapter 14
The old backstage dressing room at the hotel was renovated.
Not sealed.
Not memorialized.
Turned into a normal green room.
At first I hated that.
Then understood.
Places should not become prisons because something terrible happened inside them.
Lily eventually asked to visit.
Her choice.
We went.
She stood inside.
Looked at the vanity.
The water cup was gone.
Of course.
She asked:
“Was this where you found me?”
“Yes.”
Then:
“Did you believe Cora?”
I answered honestly.
“I wanted to.”
She smiled faintly.
May you like
“Good.”
Then we left.
