“What am I doing?” he repeated. “I’m trusting you, so you’ll trust me.” He pulled his hoodie off and dropped it on the bed before plopping down in the chair next to her. Under it, he wore only a snug-fitting faded black tee. He shook his head again, tossing his unruly brown locks back off his forehead.

Jake expelled his breath. “My story,” he said with a rueful smile, “goes back to when I was nine and my sister, Teagan, was two. It was in the spring of third grade. I came home from school all excited because I got three first-place ribbons at my track and field day. It was the Friday before Mother’s Day. It was a big deal at my school every year.” He smirked. “I thought my mom and sister were going to come and watch, but they never showed.”

He pressed his lips together and looked down. “When I got home, I ran into the house waving those blue ribbons around to show my mom. I was so excited.” He grimaced. “I ran all through the house looking for her, calling her. She wasn’t there.”

He looked back up at Brie with brooding eyes and shrugged. “Teagan was sitting on the sofa with a pile of picture books and an empty sippy cup. I have no idea how long she was alone in that house. A half hour? All day?” He shook his head. “I couldn’t get hold of my dad, and I was scared something happened to my mother. But, I was afraid to call the police. When my dad finally came home, I told him, ‘Mom’s gone.’ He found a note she left him.” A snide chuckle escaped him. “She left us. Happy Mother’s Day, right?”

He looked back at Brie. “I was homeschooled the next year at a neighbor’s, then went back to school in the fourth grade, repeating a year, so I’m older than most of the other seniors. I’ll be nineteen in a few weeks.”

“November seventeenth,” she murmured.
