Files upon files load on the screen in front of my eyes. There are far too many to figure out what each of them does, so I click on the first one my mouse hits as they layer themselves on the monitor.

The screen turns black.

I turn to look at Duane, but he’s staring at the screen with a creased brow. My head turns back and a video plays.

My seventeen-year-old self walks in the front door, and I head to my room. All the way, cameras follow me.

Holy shit.

Security cameras were in the house.

“There aren’t any cameras in your room are there?” Duane asks, sounding a little pissed.

I cover my mouth with my hand in surprise, and shake my head. “I don’t know.”

The camera follows me to my door, and then cuts back to the front door. That must be a no. Thank goodness.

I fast forward.

Two hours later, I leave my room, and head to the kitchen.

I sit for a while.

Fast forward.

Jason comes through the front door. It seems like any kind of movement triggers a camera.

I keep watching.

Nothing exciting happens. Jason and I sit at the island in the kitchen, eat and talk.

Fast forward.

Kyle walks in and meets us in the living room to watch TV. An unexpected cry bursts from my body at the sight of him.

Duane wraps his arms around my neck, and kisses the side of my head.

I take a deep breath, close my eyes, and take in his gesture—so full of love and comfort.

Fast forward. I can’t watch anymore.

I end the video and am brought back to the screen full of files. As I study the numbers more closely, I figure something out.

I point to the screen. “Duane, look. Those numbers make up a date. See that?”

He bends down with his hands still on my shoulders and studies the numbers. “I’ll be damned, they do. It’s out of order, but it’s a date for sure.”

Shit.

I scour the files, looking for that dreaded date.

When I finally find what I’m looking for, the mouse pointer hovers over it, and I can’t seem to click the file.

“You don’t have to do this. I can watch it,” he sweetly offers, worry etching his every word.

I know if I don’t see it, whatever it is, I’ll never be able to let it go. Tears spring from my eyes again and I wipe my nose. “No, I need to watch it.”

Duane’s mouth forms a straight line, indicating he doesn’t like the idea, but nods anyway.

I force my finger to open the file, and the screen goes black.

Five fifteen, on the dot, Dad walks in the door. With his business suit on and briefcase in hand, he opens the door and enters, but not before looking over both shoulders.

It strikes me odd that he actually dressed up to go to the office. I don’t remember him ever taking a trip to the office in anything but jeans and a t-shirt.

The cameras follow him to the kitchen. He sets his briefcase on the island and takes a shot of some sort of brown liquid.
