Suzanne’s story matched her mother’s story and her father’s story. Almost word for word. This was the first thing about Suzanne that really made sense, not because Lila was any closer to knowing more about Aaron and Jack, but because she was finally certain of something: both her parents and Suzanne knew something she didn’t. It was not her imagination: she was indisputably alone in this life, but she steeled herself against sadness; she was sick of the very word. Lila listened to Suzanne and recognized the tone of voice, the absence of contemplation. Never did her parents or Suzanne question, out loud, what might have happened if one little thing went differently, if anyone could have done something, anything else. There was stubbornness to this story that defied the horror of the situation. As certain as she was that rain would not come until nightfall, and the air would be static as she walked uptown, Lila knew right then that as much as her parents loved her, and as kindly as Suzanne was meeting her gaze—Lila knew that these were lies. Whatever happened that night to her brothers, clearly this was not it.
