Chapter 29 - A Letter From Prison
Two years after Gavin’s sentencing, Nolan and Parker received a letter from him.
He did not blame me. He did not ask them to defend him. For the first time, he listed what he had done without excuses.
He wrote that prison therapy had forced him to see how fear of being ordinary had turned gratitude into resentment. He had convinced himself that because he grew the company, he deserved to own every part of it—including my story.
The boys chose to meet him through a supervised family program.
I did not attend the first visit. Their therapist did.
When they returned, Parker said, “He looks older.”
Nolan said, “He listened.”
They were not ready to forgive him completely. Neither was I.
But accountability had finally replaced manipulation.
