THIRTEEN

“Dad’s changed.”

Unlikely. I gritted my teeth as I clenched my phone tightly, staring unseeingly out of the window of James’ apartment. “How, exactly?”

Joseph’s sigh was heavy enough to be audible through my phone speaker. “We had a long talk when I went to visit him. It really feels like he’s different now, Fal. It seems like being sentenced has made him re-evaluate his life. I think…he thought he was going to get out of it, right up until the end. But now he’s being moved to a proper prison, and…it’s hit home for him. He wants to try and make things up to us, for our family.”

There was no way on earth that it was true. My father would have had to have an entire personality transplant for that to even be a possibility, and even then, I doubted that it would have been enough.

When the silence stretched, he sighed again. “Will you consider seeing him?”

“No. Never.”

“You’re being unfair. Don’t you understand how hard this is for him? I know he did a lot of unforgivable things, but he’s trying now. He wants what’s best for our family. He wants to make it right, to preserve our legacy.”

“I’m sorry, but as far as I’m concerned, he deserves prison.” Leaning my forehead against the cool pane of glass, I closed my eyes. “I’m sorry you don’t understand, but you can’t ask me to do this.”

“Right. If that’s your final decision, then I need to go.” There was something weird in his tone, but I couldn’t work out what it was. “Bye, Fallon.”

He ended the call before I could reply.
