After training, Sophie went back to her dorm to take a shower. She and Will didn’t talk about her parents again that evening, and she wasn’t sure if she was grateful for it or not. As much as she appreciated Will’s concern, he didn’t quite understand what it was like to be abandoned by people who were genetically programmed to love her. It wasn’t like she wanted some big reunion or anything, yet she did want to know why they left her. She wasn’t ready to forgive, but that didn’t mean she wanted to close the door on them, either.

After changing into pajamas and wrapping her red hair up in a towel, she sat down at her desk. Her room was quiet; Jane was with Depogare, and probably would be for the next couple of weeks, and Elle was still with her family. She didn’t actually mind the quiet as much as she thought she would. She wasn’t even scared, either.

She took out the letter her mother had written from the top drawer, and read it one more time. Then, without hesitating, she pulled out a blank piece of paper and a pen, and began to write. She didn’t write about how happy she was that her mother wrote. She didn’t write about what she wanted to know. She didn’t even ask questions. Instead, she answered the question.

Dear Stephanie,

I am open to meeting with you and Issac some time next week. I can do either Thursday or Friday at lunchtime. Please let me know if this works for you.

Best,

Sophie

She read her response with a critical eye. It was detached, perhaps uncaring. She stopped the guilt pooling in her stomach at her tone and pushed it back down. These people abandoned her, she reminded herself. She didn’t have to be nice. She didn’t have to pretend that everything was okay when it clearly was not.

After two more read-throughs, she decided it was sufficient. Folding it up, along with the original letter, she put it back in her drawer. She would put her response in the mail tomorrow, and from there, she would wait.
