The Funeral Claire Remembered Wrong
Chapter 10 - The Funeral Claire Remembered Wrong
Charles was charged with fraud, kidnapping and multiple financial crimes.
But Andrew’s death remained unresolved.
Investigators reopened the crash.
The conclusion surprised everyone.
Charles had not caused it.
Andrew had been driving too fast during a storm.
He lost control.
An accident.
Claire sat alone after hearing the news.
For months, she had almost wanted Charles to be responsible.
That would make Andrew’s death part of a larger story.
A conspiracy.
A sacrifice.
Instead, it was simply tragedy.
Rebecca found her.
“You okay?”
“No.”
Rebecca sat beside her.
Claire whispered:
“He died because of rain.”
Rebecca shook her head.
“He died because sometimes terrible things happen without giving us someone to blame.”
Claire started crying.
She finally allowed herself to mourn Andrew differently.
Not as the perfect husband she thought he was.
Not as a secret hero.
As a complicated man.
He loved her.
He lied to her.
He protected people.
He hurt people.

He was human.
And Claire realized forgiveness did not require rewriting the past.
