Giada shrugged her shoulders, gripping Graeme's hands tightly. "I don't know. She knew, though. She's known for a while, I think."
The way her sister had brought up memories from their childhood, how she'd mimicked how wonderfully their mother used to treat Giada...it seemed like Ally had known for a long time. The bitterness in Ally's voice was heart-piercing, and though Giada had kept mostly a stone cold face, having her beloved sister speak to her that way, think so poorly of her...Giada hadn't been able to fix the gigantic canyon she and Ally had put between each other, but she'd never thought lowly of her. She knew Ally was stubborn, and Giada was defending her family and her life choices, but...but...
She dropped her eyes to the ground, taking in a deep to try to keep herself from completely losing her composure. Giada was tired of being seen as the naive one, the silly girl with stars in her eyes that was oblivious to the world around her. She was a grown woman now, she was a wife, she was a mother. There was no way she was going to allow the mistakes of her parents ruin her life any longer. If Ally couldn't understand that, then---so be it.
"I'm done letting them hurt me," Giada said, unable to stop the tears from spilling out of her eyes. A great pain filled her chest as she realized what that really meant. Never again, never again. She lurched forward into Graeme, letting out a sob, "I'm done, I'm done."
