When they got back, Sadie asked if she could just take a nap upstairs. Bernard hugged her tight and gave her a kiss on her hair, and Lottie kissed her cheek and embraced her as well, then Sadie made her way upstairs, signaling Marilyn to follow her. Once they were upstairs and the door was shut and locked, Sadie turned to look at Marilyn, her eyes now brimming with tears. She wrapped her arms around Marilyn's neck and burst into tears. "Marilyn, I'm so sorry! I'm so so sorry for hurting you! I'm absolutely wretched...please forgive me!"
