Diane snatched the tape with her own name and shoved it in before she could change her mind. Their father's voice came out small and ashamed. "Diane, I made you keep my secrets when you were just a kid. I'm sorry I put that on you." Diane's hands started to shake as forgotten memories crawled back to the surface.
When her siblings came in, Diane was waiting with the tape. "He used me," she said, and finally let herself cry. "All those years I thought I was just bad at remembering. He made me forget on purpose." Mara pulled her into a hug. "Then we remember it together now. You're not carrying it alone anymore."
