Secret Legacy
“Richard felt the dark memories slip closer.
He’d come here to help Sarah understand her own path. But he’d needed her here, too, he accepted. He’d needed the same honesty with his past he’d pushed her into. He needed the warmth and acceptance and understanding Sarah couldn’t yet give herself. And maybe, just maybe, they needed each other.
“The council had been fine with the petty theft and minor felonies my parents had committed,” he said, “and my father’s parents before them.
