Charlie was sitting on the floor in a sea of wrapping paper drinking a brandy and playing with Charles. The great hanging tree for which the Clares were famous on State Street swayed softly above him. “Well,” he said. “You’re going to join us. How charming of you, Barrett.”

“My mother just called me on the phone,” she said. “My real mother. The one who had me. I’m going there today and taking Charles with me. Now get up please and help me. I want you to call and charter us a plane. She lives up in Arkansas. It’s a long way and inaccessible. Do it right now, Charlie. This is not a joke. Something’s happened to her. She needs me.”

“Your mother?”

“Yes, my mother. Please get me a plane right now, Charlie. While I pack. Charles, you are going with me somewhere. We’re going to see your grandmother. Your real grandmother. Someone you’ve never seen.” The child did not move, but her husband, Charlie, got up. He came toward her, reaching out to her. “All right,” he said. “That’s wonderful. What else? What else can I do?”

“What will we wear?” Charles said. “What will we take to wear?”

“It doesn’t matter what we wear,” she said. “We’re going to see my mother. My mother. I’m going to see my mother.” She picked him up off the floor and hugged him fiercely and danced him around the room. I exist, she was singing inside her head. I am here. I am really here. Everything that happens from this day forward will be better. Whatever happens next will be better and better and better. My mother is waiting for me.
