“I used to wear my heart like a banner, pride myself on how deeply I felt. But you know

what? All that emotion was like wearing rose-colored glasses, blinding me to my own

daughter…” He looked at Damien, his face bare with remorse. “Thank you for helping me

realize the harm I caused.” This man, who appeared to be in his fifties, spoke with such

sincerity that Damien couldn’t help but smile. “Cherry would be thrilled if she knew you
