CHAPTER 73 Do You Know the Whole Story?

  Sarah's POV

  I follow Charlotte to the room. She knelt and hugged James.

  James: Mama!

  Charlotte: I am okay my love, I just wanted a hug!

  James: Okay.

  He hugs her back and I smile. She stands up and notices me...

  Charlotte: James, will you stay here?

  James: Yeah, I have my soldiers.

  He beams at her and she smiles. She exits the room and gestures for me to follow her to her bedroom. The moment she closes the door behind her she starts crying. She covers her face with her hands and collapses onto the bed.

  Charlotte: What have I done?! I am awful! I am an awful mother! An awful sister and daughter...

  My heart aches to see her like this. I kneel in front of her placing my hands on her knees.

  Sarah: You are not awful... you are just confused. And probably scared. Believe me, I know that feeling!

  Charlotte: How can you say that?! You don't even know me?!
