Chapter 40

• Vernon
• I already knew what my father was going to say when he summoned me to see him. It was funny I thought time could wash away my resentment towards him. But when I saw his face, every emotion I had ever felt for him came rushing back.
• When I saw his face, I could see myself in my old age through him, but I knew I would never become him. Whenever I saw him I saw my mother, and I was forced to remember how she left us.
