Diane drove off without a word. But three days later she came back alone, let herself in, and sat in the dark den with the box of tapes. She wasn't ready to share what she found with anyone yet. She just needed to hear his voice one more time, on her own terms.
Alone in the den, Diane listened until dawn. The last tape ended with him saying, "I hope one day you'll forgive me. You don't have to. But I hope." She didn't forgive him, not that night. But she closed the hidden panel, turned off the light, and decided she could come back when she was ready.
