"Now tell me why should I be there with him when he left me when I had no one but him?"
Elsie's question left Eloise confused. She had not tried to listen to her side and only believed that Lester was right though he was the one at a fault. Elsie was right when she said Eloise wanted to steal Lester from her. But she didn't know that it was all in the past.
How could she know if Eloise had not talked to her even once?
Suppressing the rising bile in her throat, Eloise said, "Elsie, I don't disagree with anything you have said. It is all true. I failed to be the sister you needed and deserved. I put my grief first than my sister and I… I regret it. I know that I cannot change the past- not with you nor with brother Edwin.
I always misunderstood you both and focused on my jealousy than trying to talk to you. I know I am your criminal, and I am ready to take any punishment you want to give me.
But please, Elsie, don't push Lester away. He… he is genuinely sorry for what he did."
