Chapter 22 - LYDIA
Serena created a scholarship in Lydia Maren’s name.
Only after Lydia’s family agreed.
For young documentary photographers.
No connection to the crash required.
Lydia became more than “the woman in Serena’s car.”
Important.
Her sister spoke at the first award ceremony.
“Lydia took pictures because she believed ordinary lives deserved witnesses.”
Perrin attended.
Afterward he asked:
“If Lydia didn’t die, Mom would still be dead?”
Serena corrected gently.
“No one knows.”
Crash physics.
Chance.
Horrible questions.
He nodded.
“Can be sad for Lydia and happy Mom lived?”
May you like
“Yes.”
Both.
