She’d paced the riverbank while Beck talked, concerned by the strain she heard in Beck’s voice. But peace still lingered in Callie’s heart, despite the topic of the call. Callie disconnected and walked back over to Luke. “Her aunt is coming into town next week and has asked to meet me. Beck said that she might have more information than Annette did about George’s marriage to my mother and how that whole time frame connects. Although I think I know.”

She pushed out a heavy breath. “My guess is that Mom was married to George during the time we lived with this older lady in our apartment complex who let us move in when Mom couldn’t make rent. After we’d lived there awhile, Mom started going away for longer and longer amounts of time. She said she was going for work so we could get our own place. I’m starting to think work meant her secret life with her other family.”

Luke leaned back on his elbows, looking across the water. “Do you remember her being pregnant?”

Callie shook her head. “I would have been three.” She ran her hands over the park’s close-cropped grass. “Five years Mom played this game. A life with me and a life on the farm with Beck. Later on, I do remember Ms. Ruthie and Mom having arguments. Mom would say she had a plan. That we’d be out of Ms. Ruthie’s hair soon. But then Ms. Ruthie passed away. My guess is that’s when Mom left George. I just don’t understand why it had to be an either-or situation. I don’t understand why she couldn’t take me there too.”
