If he’d been a good uncle, I’d have stayed in Boston. Never would have found my way to San Francisco,” he said. Camille knew where the rest of his story led and grinned. “And you never would have rescued my father from a pickpocket,” she added. He started to laugh, a quiet, almost personal chuckle, like he was thinking about some funny memory. Camille caught the bug of laughter and wanted to join in. “What is it?” she asked. “Your father didn’t need a rescuer. He caught the pickpocket himself,” Oscar answered, a hand on his abdomen from all his laughter. “And then he invited him inside for dinner.” Her smile fell flat. She stared at him, trying to comprehend what he’d just said. “You?” she asked, dumbfounded. “You were the pickpocket?” Oscar nodded, scratching the back of his head. “Yeah. I wasn’t very good at it.” Her father could have had him arrested or shooed him away without thinking twice. But he’d invited Oscar inside. He gave him work, food…a real chance. “Why didn’t he tell me?” she asked, feeling like she’d been duped once again. All the lies her father had woven to cover up his secrets had become so frayed, Camille wondered if she had truly known him at all. “To give me a clean slate with everyone. Even you.” Oscar moved toward her in cautious, deliberate steps. “We’re alone. We should talk.” The pantry was cramped and dismal despite the oil lamp, and Camille had a sudden urge to flee. “About what?” she asked, her ears burning. She still reeled with the knowledge that the pickpocket story hadn’t been real, just like her mother’s story hadn’t been real. Oscar stopped within a few inches from her and reached a hand around her waist. “About our night together, Camille,” he answered, his dimples forming. “There’s a lot to say.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Angie Frazier" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/angie-frazier/i-m-sorry-she-said-wishing-she-could-say-something-more-meaningful-i/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3a0/angie-frazier-14965_clean-slate_i-m-sorry-she-said-wishing-she-could-say_407782.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3a0/angie-frazier-14965_clean-slate_i-m-sorry-she-said-wishing-she-could-say_407782.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3a0/angie-frazier-14965_clean-slate_i-m-sorry-she-said-wishing-she-could-say_407782.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I’m sorry,” she said, wishing she could say something more meaningful. “I’m not.
