“You came to this town after cutting ties with everyone because they did not respect your decision and since then, you never came back. Did you know how hurt everyone felt, especially mother? Do you even care about the family at all despite all they have done for you?” “Did the family care about me?” Caitlin asked and shook her head. “You all don’t want me to live a happy life and that was it.

The sacrifices were not regrets but the stepping stones to a life that reflected the resilience they had all discovered through Sophia's influence. As their reflections mingled with the soft laughter of Sophia's namesake, the room became a sanctuary of shared memories and unspoken understanding.

So even though she may come to a point where she's willing to forgive Felix for his monumental screwups, I can't and won't. Doesn't that make me monstrous?
