“Mess up?”
“The Good Father said that it’s human to make mistakes.”

“It’s also human to forgive.”
“It’s my forgiveness you’re after, is it? Not hers?”

Great story.
Well executed surprise ending
Great back and forth dialogue with a nice turn at the end.
love it! Always in favor of a twist at the end.
Nice, with a great twist. It’s tricky to get a dialogue only piece right, but this one works really well.
