Tears flood my throat, floating the inevitable question to my tongue. “Why did you let him hurt me, Mama?”
Fuck, my heart 😢 I really like, but also really hate that we didn’t get real answers from her mother, but I mean, that was the point! There isn’t anything her mother could’ve said to justify what happened anyway. It’s a painful moment and a painful scene, but it’s exactly what it needed to be.
