MY HUSBAND STOOD IN OUR KITCHEN, SIPPED COFFEE OUT OF THE MUG I BOUGHT HIM, AND SAID, “I WANT THE HOUSE. THE CARS. THE SAVINGS. EVERYTHING—EXCEPT OUR SON.” MY LAWYER LOOKED AT ME LIKE SHE’D NEVER HEARD ANYTHING SO COLD. SHE TOLD ME TO FIGHT. TOLD ME NOT TO LET HIM STRIP ME CLEAN.

HE DIDN’T EVEN BLINK. HE JUST PRESSED A BRASS KEY INTO MY HAND, SAID, “DON’T GO HOME. GO TO UNIT 16. NOW.” THEN MY PHONE VIBRATED. A TEXT FROM MY DEAD MOTHER LIT UP THE SCREEN: COME HOME ALONE. SIX DAYS AFTER I IDENTIFIED HER BODY, SIX DAYS AFTER I SIGNED THE PAPERWORK, SIX DAYS AFTER EVERYBODY TOLD ME TO ACCEPT SHE WAS GONE… I LEFT HER BURIAL, DROVE TO A STORAGE FACILITY AT THE EDGE OF TOWN, OPENED UNIT 16, AND FOUND SOMETHING THAT MADE MY WHOLE BODY GO COLD.

OF COURSE WE’LL SHARE.” MY FATHER JUST SAT THERE NODDING LIKE HE’D EARNED A SINGLE DIME OF THAT FUTURE. I SAID NOTHING. BECAUSE THE LAST TIME THEY LOOKED THAT CONFIDENT, I WAS A KID STANDING IN AN EMPTY HOUSE WITH A NOTE ON THE KITCHEN TABLE SAYING THEY COULDN’T DO THIS ANYMORE.
