HELENA'S POVThis has to be the happiest day of my life. I never would have thought that the reconciliation between Alexander's Mom and me would come in so handy. I couldn't stand watching her cry, I couldn't stand looking at her eyes, the way they turned red and read sincere remorse. I was pleased and joyful that she showed up even when I least expected it.
