“He Left His Daughters Behind—15 Years Later, He Came Back to Explain Why”

“I don’t.”

No defense. No excuses.

That somehow made it worse.

“Why didn’t you trust me?” I asked. “Why didn’t you let me help?”

No soft version. No protection.

Lyra wanted to understand.

Dora just looked confused.

“He just left… and came back with paperwork?” she asked.
