He had been fearing this moment, anticipating the judgment. Now, as the words came out of Emily’s mouth, a surprising feeling filled him. Emily did not know who he was.

His chest expanded with a strange elation. The past was gone. He could start anew.

He had a spring in his step as he walked up to the stand.
