Chapter 22 - THE FAMILY PORTRAIT WE DO NOT TAKE
Lenora asked for a new family portrait six months later.
Not wedding-themed.
Neutral.
She proposed:
All Corvane siblings.
Grandchildren.
No partners.
I laughed when I read it.
Celia did not.
“She may be trying.”
“By excluding partners?”
“Maybe not successfully.”
Ivy was asked whether she wanted to participate.
“No.”
End.
No portrait.
Lenora complained:
“One child controls everyone.”
I responded through counsel:
“One child controls whether she participates.”
Different.
Then something unexpected.
Marjorie declined too.
She wrote to Lenora:
Stop using photographs to prove who belongs.
That sentence reached me through a cousin.
I did not contact her.

Change usually appears in small acts before apologies feel believable.
