“Sometimes I wonder if it was worth it. All the hard work I do,
all the travel, all the difficult clients I have to deal with. I don’t know. Used
to think I was doing it for Birdie and Victoria, but after they were successful
on their own, it didn’t feel like they really needed me.”
“Did you ever talk to Birdie about how you felt?”
“No. She never had the time, and we hardly talked anymore. You
might say we went in different directions. But I honestly loved them. Really
loved them! And now, it’s too late.” He buried his face in
his hand.
“I’m so
sorry, Lee. I know it hurts. But my sister and brother-in-law will also feel that
hurt if their son is convicted of murder. He didn’t kill your wife or Victoria,
bet my life on it.”
