CHALK GAVE HER A RIDE home that night, if the word “home” could be applied to a place where she spent less than half her time. There was not even the smelly welcome of a naughty dog to remind her of who she was. The telephone glared its red light to say that someone had called and left a message during the day. Two someones, two messages.

The first was from Wendy. “Neela, I wish you were there. I really need to talk to you. Things are not good. Papa is getting worse, and we can’t seem to get things done without him. Mama is trying, but you know how it is. She mostly stays in bed, like she’s the one sick. The hens are laying, but Rick burnt the farm stand down so we have nowhere to sell them. It was an accident, but it’s burnt down just the same. The goats kidded just fine and are milking great but Robin went off with Rick when Mama kicked him out so all that milk is going to waste. I quit school to manage it all, but I can’t make cheese for the life of me, not like Robin does. Dot and I are at our wits’ end, and Rindy is so fed up with the bickering that she’s staying over with the Turners. Please call and tell me everything is going to be all right. Love you. This is Wendy in case you couldn’t tell.”

“Mrs. Durante, this is Curt Chamberlain, legal counsel for Mr. Durante. We require your response with regard to division of property before the divorce proceedings can move forward. My office would be happy to recommend a mediator to settle any disputes you might have with Mr. Durante. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Neela lay down on the couch and put a pillow over her head.
