And for the first time, I wasn’t Hicks’s wife, Burke’s daughter-in-law, or Nux’s mom.
I was Khal — whole, unapologetic, and unbroken.
Nux and I live in a bright new apartment now. My support group grows every week. And every time I tell my story, I tell the truth. I don’t regret any of it — I gave two families babies that they desperately wanted.
And because of that, I’ve been able to rebuild. And now, I’m rising.
