Outside of Mom’s room, I huddle in Christopher’s arms, wishing that Donovan would spare himself from that which is unfolding. Anna storms out of the room and down the hallway, furiously hollering, “That damn bitch! Another fucking problem!”

Donovan emerges, his tears streaming. “Lily, Mom’s…” His sentence is completed with sobs.

My hand absorbs his tears, and I give a nod of understanding. “Did she give any indication at all what she was referring to?”

Shaking his head, Donovan turns away, not wanting to face another mystery. Christopher gently kisses my cheek before checking on Anna, grievously knowing that he can never understand the new layer of hell Donovan and I now face together.

Moment upon moment passes as we crumble, the touch of our foreheads forming a heart of desolation that is drenched in conflicting emotions. We are flooded with memories of holiday cheer, laughter-filled snowball fights, vacations at the beach, Mom’s spirited dancing in the kitchen, our father’s jabs at Donovan's masculinity, the nights of crying over watching Donovan turn from loving to hateful, Mom disowning us, and now a new mystery—it’s all a blurring kaleidoscope of pain.

Finally my lips mutter the words neither of us wants to admit needing. “We’re free.”
