It had never occurred to Sophie that she would be forgiven so readily for her trespasses and she wasn't sure that she liked it. She had refused to visit her dangerously ill father in hospital because her career was more important to her, and the least he could do was judge her. You could get away with anything, it seemed, if you were on the telly.
Sophie grappled with the realization that forgiveness came too easily, leaving her feeling uncertain about its implications. She had made the choice to prioritize her career over visiting her critically ill father, hoping he would express disappointment towards her decision. This internal conflict highlighted her discomfort with the ease of absolution she was granted.
In her mind, Sophie believed that being in the public eye allowed her to sidestep accountability for her actions. This perception of immunity from judgment created a tension within her, as she struggled to reconcile her ambitions with her familial responsibilities and the consequences of her choices.
