Chapter 20

Gordon’s aunt Patricia just arrived,” Mamma whispered when she found Marlena in the ladies’ room changing Angela Rose. “Your father wants me to invite her to sit with the family up front. I agree that it’s the polite thing to do.”

Marlena’s heart skipped a beat. “So she’s come to represent Gordon and his family.”

Mamma leaned near, her breath on Marlena’s ear. “Your grandmother and I wonder if she’s come for Angela Rose, perhaps. She has a most determined look on her face.”

Marlena’s hands shook as she fastened a pin in the diaper. “But Angela’s happy with Mammi Janice and me. And—”

“No need to panic, dear, but we must remember things are likely to change once Gordon’s parents are home again. And at some point, Gordon will make clear who should have temporary custody. He may be allowed to come home a short while, but surely he’ll have to return to the service.”

Marlena reached down for her niece and drew her close. “I don’t think I should sit up front with you and the family, Mamma.”

“Well, why not, honey?”

“I need to be with Angela Rose,” she said firmly. “We’ll sit in the back so she’s not a distraction, ya know.”

Mamma patted her hand. “Considering everything, I think you may be right, Marlena. Jah, this is wise.”

Considering everything . . . Marlena suspected she was referring to Patricia Munroe. “I’ll just slip into the back row, all right?”

“And I’ll make sure my mother knows where you and the baby are.” Mamma paused to caress Angela’s cheek, then left to find Mammi Janice.

I simply mustn’t fret, Marlena reminded herself.
