Chapter 7

Selena caught a cab and went to the airport. She managed to get a standby ticket for the first flight out to California. She needed to see her mother, needed to find out the truth about herself, and above all find out what they had kept from her. She needed to know everything, to be a complete person, even if she could not remember for herself.

As for Nick? His duplicity hurt! She had fallen for the oldest con in the book! He was a married man! Why did he not tell her? How could he not tell her? She was mad at him, mad as hell! The tears, she knew, would come later, when she was alone and when she allowed the pain to wash over her. As for now, she needed to find out the truth once and for all.

Hours later, a tired and jet-lagged Selena finally made it to her mother’s house and knocked. It had been a long time since she had seen her. The woman that opened the door had aged considerably in the last two years. “Lena? Baby? Is it really you?”

“Yeah Mom, it really is. Can I come in? We seriously need to talk.”

The older women stepped aside. “Come in baby. I think you are right. We were overdue for a good conversation for a long time now.”

She led the way into her kitchen and made them tea, while Selena sat at the table that took pride of place in the center of the room.

“You know, Lena, I know why you are here. You finally want to know about the past and the small things your father and I kept hidden from you, don’t you?”

“Small things? I wouldn’t call Nick Duvall a small thing, would you, Mom? Why have you never told me about him?”

“Because I was scared! I was scared you would turn your back on me after what your father…no, what your father and I did! But please believe me, I love you, and I am so incredibly sorry! Not a day has gone by that I don’t berate myself! Please, Lena, please forgive me!”

Dumfounded, Selena looked at her crying mother and took her hand. “Mom, please, stop crying. Just tell me everything, will you?”

“Honey, your father and I both come from a real old fashioned Southern town, the kind of town that people make fun of, you know? Where black is black and white is white and there is no shade of cream in between? Where girls and boys falling in love over the colored line just is not done? Well, we worked really hard at losing our accents and talking like the northerners do, but believe me, there are still places in this world where the color of your skin determines your social standing, not who you are or what you do. Anyway, we fell in love and then I got pregnant with you. Of course, our families would have none of it! It didn’t matter that my grandpa was a Southern gentleman, the thing is, we were people of color, and you didn’t mingle.
