When I woke up, it took a minute for me to remember where I was and why. The clock showed it was eight in the morning, which brought back the memory that my mother was dead. Gone. As in not coming back anymore.

I sank back against the pillows, wondering what I was supposed to be feeling. There was no grief or sadness. I’d tried my best to change how we communicated with each other, but nothing I’d done had made a difference.

Wade had given me something, because there was no way I would have slept that long otherwise.

While I felt I had things to do, nothing was making me want to get out of bed. There was a huge hole in my life that had always been pushed to the back, and now it was sitting right there, waiting for me to shine the light on it.

Why had my father and grandparents never come looking for me? I’d always thought it was just me and my mom until she’d brought us to live with Aunt Saundra. It had never dawned on me to question that my mother wasn’t telling the truth. She’d always been so willing to tell me the bad things that telling me something good would have been too shocking.

What had she done that made her stay away from her family? That it could be anything other than her own fault never entered my brain. My mom was only capable of causing problems, so it would make sense that she was the reason for the exile. Whether it was her own doing or theirs didn’t really matter at this point. I had the chance to fix something, to make my life better, and I was going to do just that.

“Wade?” I called out, knowing he had slept there because the bed was messed up.

“Hey, sleepyhead. You’ve been asleep for almost fourteen hours.” He poked his head in the room cheerfully.

“I know you put something in my drink, or gave me something to sleep, but it was probably for the best anyway.” I got up, ready to get dressed.

“Let’s go eat breakfast before you have to be at the lawyer’s office,” he suggested.

I stuck my head out of the closet. “I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep anything down.”

“If nothing else, it’ll help kill some time. We can discuss a few ideas I have and see what you think.” He sat on the edge of the bed to pull on his boots.

“Oh,” he added as casually. “We have to go over and pick up my bike when we’re done at the lawyer’s. Sarah brought all the food over here last night while you were asleep.”

“Sure.” I wasn’t sure what kind of mood I’d be in after I read whatever my mom had written, but there was no reason to punish Wade if it went bad. “Why don’t you have Sarah join us?”

He looked visibly relieved. “She was driving me crazy with promises to call her as soon as you had read it to tell her what’s in it.
