“I’m sorry to hear about Scarlett,” Dalma says. “Any chance she’ll make it out?” “I’m not counting on it,” I painfully admit. Today is about acceptance. Orion has encouraged me to control what I can and accept what I can’t. “I’m having a really lovely time with you, but would you mind if I actually called Scarlett? I’m feeling really inspired to set some things straight with my family after being welcomed by yours.” “Do you mean . . . ?” Orion asks. “Yes.” I’m going to call my parents and tell them it’s my End Day.
