Chapter Eleven

Thoughts tumbled through Eve’s mind like clothes in a dryer as she drove home from Zephaniah’s. Was her father really half angel? Did her mom know about it? Had she been keeping it a secret all Eve’s life? And the biggest question of all, the one that had plagued her since the first day she learned her stepfather was not her real dad, why had her father left them? She hoped her mother was in the mood to talk, because she needed to find out.

Fortunately, it was her brothers’ bedtime when she arrived at her apartment, and she knew her mom would be dying to know about her night, but she was much more interested in what her mother had to say. The house was quiet, but the light was on in her mother’s bedroom, so she bypassed the living room and headed straight for the master suite. Julie was elbow deep in clean laundry.

“Hi darling! How was your evening? Did you like Zeph’s family?” Julie paused her laundry folding to give Eve a squeeze.

Eve had planned to jump right in to her questions, but her mom’s exuberance was hard to resist. She had had an amazing evening. “It was really great, Mom. Zeph’s family is terrific. They were all really nice.”

“So, what did you do?” Julie winked, and Eve rolled her eyes. She wanted to talk, but she could do without the mom-style innuendo.

“We had dinner, and then Zeph and I went for a walk. We mostly just… talked.”

“That sounds nice, sweetie. It’s important to find someone you enjoy talking to. Love is not all about kissing and romance, although that’s pretty nice, too! What did you two talk about?”

Eve sucked in a deep breath. Her mom had asked the right question; did she have the courage to answer? “We talked about… my father.”

“Oh, well, that’s kind of a somber topic for a second date! But I guess he must have wondered about your father, since he was introducing you to his. Steven was such a great dad. I wish the boys could’ve gotten to know him.” Julie sighed and dumped a basket of socks on the bed. Instead of helping her match them like she normally would, Eve stared quietly till she caught her mother’s eye.

“We weren’t talking about Steven, Mom. We were talking about my real dad. Why don’t you ever talk to me about him?”

Julie dropped the pair of socks she was folding and looked thoughtfully at Eve. “Because Steven was your dad, sweetheart. The man who shares your DNA wasn’t a good enough man to be your father.”

“I’d still like to know about him,” Eve whispered.

Julie sighed and sat down on the bed. “I suppose I can understand your curiosity. What would you like to know about him?”

Eve climbed up next to her mother and folded her legs. “Tell me everything.”

Julie smirked and chucked her daughter under the chin. Her gaze drifted back in time as she recalled the love affair that ended as passionately as it began.
