Claire, why are you doing this to me? Can’t we at least talk? Me. I did talk, 12 years straight. You didn’t listen.
I blocked her. That was the last time I ever heard from Claire. Epilogue.
One year later, I’m in a better place now, literally and figuratively. I bought a cozy cabin by a lake close to the VA hospital, I go fishing some mornings, volunteer with fellow veterans, and I started a non-profit that helps military families secure housing and legal aid, funded partly by the restitution Claire was court-ordered to repay. Every month, like clockwork, $523.19 lands in the non-profit’s account.
Claire’s monthly court-ordered installment, people ask if I miss her. I don’t. I just miss who I thought she was.
