Oran

“What if Mom and you get into a fight?” Glancing over as we cruised the highway out of Seattle and toward the outer boroughs, I flexed my grip on the wheel tightly. I couldn’t get between May and her mother. I could take care of everything else, but this was her fight. As much as I just wanted to use money to solve this issue, it wouldn’t work, and that was a damn big pill to swallow.

“Sarah, if we fight, then we fight. I’m beyond worrying about Mom’s opinion right now.” May was really starting to get bitter, resentful. I reached over the short distance between us to take her hand. Her fingers were cold and trembling, and she huffed a sigh. It’d take us another twenty minutes to drive to her parents’ place in Tacoma, and she was nervous, stuck between a rock and a hard place. “If Mom wants to go there, I’ll fucking go there. I love you, Sarah, but you’re my sister and I can’t keep this up anymore. I know you hate Seattle, anyway. So, we’re going to resolve this one way or another.”

“Do you think she’ll really make me leave?” Sarah sounded so uncertain and it reminded me of that night in Hansen’s so long ago. Pretty soon, it’d start getting chilly and the sun would start setting by four p.m. Normally, Sarah would be worrying about school, not whether she’d be sent to a juvenile facility because her mother is a heartless bitch.

“I don’t know much about guardianship or anything, May, but I just realized your mother can’t make that decision, can she? She gave up all her legal rights to you, so you’d be the one who has to sign everything and make the decision, right?” Sarah sat up a little straighter, hope blossoming in her face, and May frowned under deeply knit brows next to me. “I mean, she could get away with it for a few days until they found out, I’m sure, but . . . ”

“Yeah, I think you’re right.” The atmosphere became a smidgen lighter in the truck, and I nodded firmly as my mind churned over this problem. Sarah was bored— she didn’t go to school, she didn’t have a job, she took online classes that made up maybe three hours of her week . . .

The only thing she had was her passion for birds, so I understood how these issues could pop up.

“I should call my lawyer and have him come just so I have some back-up. I wish I thought of it a few days ago.” Squeezing her hand, I pursed my lips thinly at May’s grumble, and she sunk into her seat until her knees pressed against the dash. “I’m sorry, Oran.”

“It’s perfectly fine, May. If nothing else, you saved me from a day of back-to-back meetings.” Flicking on my blinker as we passed a Tacoma exit sign hanging above the highway, I merged into the right lane and touched the brakes before speaking up again.
