Aunt Marie was still in shock after spending thirty minutes going through the house. “Oh Maddie, this is awful!” she cried. She turned to me slowly. “I don’t want to offend you. Carlos told us what happened at the restaurant Thursday night. Your father was very angry. Do you think he might have done this?” she asked.

“I’m not offended in the least.” It never occurred to me to consider him. Could it have been? “I’m sure he wouldn’t have any reservations about doing something to hurt me. On the other hand, I don’t think he would do it himself,” I said. “He might have hired or coerced someone to do it.”

I paused to contemplate it some more. “On second thought, Father would probably prefer that I remain in town. That way he could insult and punish me. I think he knows my life is in San Antonio now. He wouldn’t expect me to stay, so making threats to get me to leave wouldn’t be necessary.”

“This is impossible,” she said. “Let’s not worry about cleaning up until we can get a large dumpster. We can put everything in it at once. Unless you want to keep the furniture, it’ll all need to be thrown away. Reupholstering would probably be more than it’s worth.”

She was right. Nothing in the house could be saved. Thank God I’d taken a few mementos with me yesterday.
