That first week after he left, you were so distraught. You thought it was your fault. That you had done something to make him go away. I just wanted to make you feel better. I made up this story about how you were daddy's favorite. How he loved you the most, and you had this special bond that couldn't be broken no matter how far away he was. The truth is, he loved you like he loved the rest of us. No more, no less. I'm sorry we were lying to you then, and I'm sorry about having to tell you the truth now. But I thought you would eventually realize what a fairytale this all was.
Oh, mom. That must have been so hard for you. Wait. I want to share something with you. Stay there. [Leaves the room]
[To Brandi] I needed to do that. It was necessary.
I think it's good that she heard it.
Sorry, you don't get to rewrite history. [Puts wooden box on the table]
What's that?
Open it.
What are these?
Letters I've received from daddy over the last twenty years or so. How many has he sent you guys?
