Carly's Story

... I don't need to. It sucks being up there longer than you absolutely have to be, and I have enough overwhelming evidence to put him away for quite a while. If you'd like, you can write a victim impact statement, and when he is convicted, you can either read it yourself, or submit it for the judge to read at sentencing."

Carly said, "I'll do that. And no need for the judge to read it. I want to."

Nods came around the table.

"One last thing," John said. "Susan, I'm sure you're a great attorney, your reputation from Hartford precedes you. But, could you do your absolute best to imitate a sleazy defense lawyer and help Carly prep for testimony?"

"Done," Susan said, smiling at John, then at Carly.

We wrapped up the meeting, and I went with Carly back to her office. She sat down and sighed, looking a little tired.

"How are you feeling?" I asked her.

"Good... I'm ready to do this. But I'm also ready for this whole shitshow to be over with," Carly said.

"I know, and it will be, soon," I said.

Susan poked her head in the door.

"I think I want to tell your parents," Carly said to me. We were in my car, heading to meet my parents and Julie for dinner. We had seen them twice more since she first met them, and she and Julie were getting together for lunch at least once a week.

"If you're ready, then go for it," I said, squeezing her thigh.

She smiled at me. I knew what their reaction would be, and I knew they would still accept her, and us, for who we were.
