Three had her arm linked with mine as we strolled through Boston Common. She was showing me where her outdoor wedding ceremony was going to be.

So…” She spread her arms out and showed me the backdrop. “Donny and I will be here, and the fathers and the guests will be here.” Her excited eyes looked up at me, seeking my approval like always. Three looked at me as her second father. Perhaps it was because I was eleven years older. She and Donny had been together since the tenth grade, and no one had to tell me how much that meant, loving a person so hard for so long.

“Looks perfect.” I pulled her into my side and kissed her head.

We headed for the bridge that looked like it came from a Mary Poppins movie set. Once in the middle, she stopped and leaned over the rail, looking back at where her ceremony would be held.

“Our main pictures will be here.” She grinned and tucked her hair out of her eyes. “Look at those colors. Do you see colors like this where you live?”

I smiled at her. My family never asked much when it came to the location of the safe house. I knew they understood, but I also knew it was hard for them. Three was trying to gain some small measure of the way I lived. I knew the family all missed that I wasn’t around much anymore.

“I do.”

She nodded and let out a huge breath. “I wish you would come home more.”

“I’ll work on that.”

Her rosy hands tucked in her pockets, and she turned to face me.

“Look.” Her head dropped down. “I know I’m not like Two. We don’t talk about stuff like this, but…”

“Say it.” I encouraged her to be open with me.

“I know everyone is concerned about Lexi, and I want to tell you something.”

She motioned for me to sit on a bench.

“I was visiting Poppy’s grave a few months back. Nan likes me to take him his tulips since the car hurts her back now.” Her hands twitched in her jacket. “Anyway, as I was leaving, I saw Lexi standing at her parents’ graves with flowers. I felt so bad for her. You know, that’s so hard to see.” Her worried eyes looked at me. “I watched her, not wanting to interrupt something so personal. She laid flowers on each grave and seemed to have a moment with them. Then she looked off toward the road, and there was a car there. I was going to go over and see how she was, but she started walking quickly in the direction of the car.”

“Okay,” I said to let her know I was following.

“I followed her until I saw a man get out of the car. She was heading right for him. When they started talking, he took hold of her arm.”

“Who was he?”

She shrugged but looked concerned. “Some man in a long wool coat. I’ve never seen him before, which wouldn’t normally have worried me, but when he looked at me, he shot me a really nasty look that stopped me in my tracks.
