Ever’body had an opinion. Mama. My sisters. Rheba and Flossie. And of course, Raymond. None of em understood Ed wouldn’t just up and leave. They didn’t know how he felt about me. Mama was convinced he’d turn up drunk and broke. Said she hoped I had sense enough not to take him back.

Rosalie was the only one on my side. She’d put her arms around me and say, “We know he didn’t leave us, don’t we?” It’s what I wanted to believe. What I had to believe. Thinkin otherwise hurt too much. But questions gnawed at my insides. Were my kids too much for him to handle? Did Mama drive him away? Did I? I was ashamed of not ownin up to my worries long before I did, lettin em build up into one big fear. And I shouldn’t of told him about my dream when I did, the way I did. I shouldn’t of told him at all.
