Mi familia me abandonó después de un accidente: eligieron salvar a mi hermana en su lugar. Cinco años después, los vi de nuevo en su boda. Cuando mi padre me vio, se paralizó. “¿Por qué sigues viva?”, exigió, y luego se volvió hacia mi hermana. Ella tartamudeó. Pensé que todo era una actuación-hasta que el novio dio un paso adelante. Lo que dijo a continuación me destrozó por completo.
