Carry On ~ Chapter 20:

"How do I live my life, knowing that Simmons ended his life? How do I move on when I know how much pain my return is causing for his family, Grant's, and Divo's? Roddie has no words. He tries to think of something to, but what can you say to make someone in this situation feel better? He continues to stare out the window. Emily continues. "Maybe I was supposed to stay in Iraq. Maybe you all would have been better off thinking I was still dead. I mean, in a way, I was dead already."

"NO" Roddie doesn't realize what he has said until he hears his voice. "Goddammit, Emily. NO. You deserve to be here. You are not meant to live the rest of your life as a prisoner. Do you hear me?"

Now it was her turn to remain quiet. She still has her hands gripping the steering wheel while a tear trickles down her cheek. "Yes, Simmons ended his own life,. But that is not your fault  Do you hear me Sanders?"
