"What are you doing here?"

Before Charlie answered, Lena smiled brightly.

"We're back."

Theo adjusted the robot in his hands.

"Hi, Mum."

I looked from one of them to the other.

Victor closed the front door behind Alexander.

"Mr. Sinclair dropped them home."

My eyes moved to Victor.

"I see."

Charlie rested one hand in his pocket.

    Edmund left the cafe without looking back.The afternoon traffic moved steadily through the city, but he barely noticed the cars around him. His hands remained fixed on the steering wheel as the engine carried him from one street to the next without any destination in mind.Nora's voice followed him into the silence of the car."Did you ever take food to Mum that Vivienne prepared?"His fingers tightened around the steering wheel until the leather creased beneath his palms.The word had come so easily.Now it refused to leave him.A red light brought the car to a stop. Edmund stared through the windshield without seeing the intersection ahead. The memory returned on its own.A white container.Steam rising when Vivienne lifted the lid.Her smile."She hasn't been eating well."He swallowed.For years, it had been nothing more than an ordinary afternoon. He had remembered carrying the soup into Beatrice's room. He had remembered her thanking him before lifting the spoon.There had neve

    NoraMy phone vibrated across the dining table.I looked at the screen before reaching for it.Bernard.I answered the call."Good morning.""I've just received the laboratory report." His voice remained steady. "I've sent it to your email."My fingers tightened around the phone."The results are back?""They are."I pushed my chair back and walked toward my study.The laptop sat where I had left it the night before.I opened it and signed into my email.A new message appeared at the top of my inbox.DNA Analysis Report"I'll stay on the line," Bernard said.I clicked the attachment.The laboratory logo filled the first page, below it were the sample numbers.One belonged to the strand of hair I had found hidden inside my mother's small leather pouch.The second belonged to the reference sample Bernard had submitted.I scrolled slowly.The words came into view one line at a time.Probability of Identity: 99.99%My hand stopped on the touchpad.I read the final paragraph again, then a

    CharlieMarcus sat behind the steering wheel.The manila folder rested between us on the center console. My hand remained on it through most of the drive, even though I hadn't opened it since leaving the office."We're almost there." Marcus slowed the car as he turned into a quiet medical complex.I looked through the windshield.The building was smaller than I expected. The brass directory beside the entrance listed only a handful of specialists.Marcus shifted the car into park."He retired three years ago."I looked at him."How did you find him?""I started with the hospital." Marcus reached for the folder. "Most of the records from that period had already been archived. One of the administrators remembered where he went after retirement."He stepped out of the car.I followed him inside.The receptionist looked up from behind her desk."Good afternoon."Marcus offered a polite nod."We're here to see Dr. Howard Ellis.""Do you have an appointment?"Marcus slid a business card acr

    lCharlie The interview ended.The television screen faded to black.I remained where I was, one hand resting against the edge of my desk.My reflection stared back at me from the dark screen.The office around me disappeared.One sentence kept returning."This... is what I received for saving Charlie."My fingers tightened against the wood until the muscles in my forearm began to ache.The scar… I had seen it.I heard her voice again."The rock caught my wrist while I was trying to pull Charlie out of the river."I drew a breath that never seemed to reach my lungs.For years, I had thanked Celeste.For years, I had looked at Nora and seen someone capable of pushing another person down a flight of stairs.I closed my eyes.The image of Nora rolling back the sleeve of her blouse refused to leave me.That scar had been there all along.I had seen it. I had asked her about it.She told me it happened when she was a child.I never asked another question.My hand slipped from the desk.The

    NoraVictoria remained quiet after my challenge.The studio lights reflected across the polished floor as every camera stayed fixed on the stage.Victoria rested her cue cards on the table and looked at me."Ms. Vance..."I met her eyes."If the staircase wasn't the beginning..." she drew a measured breath. "Then when did all of this start?"I lowered her eyes to my hands. When I looked up again, I voice carried evenly across the studio."Our hatred didn't begin on the stairs."Victoria didn't interrupt.I held her gaze for a moment before continuing."It began years earlier."No one behind the cameras spoke.The production crew remained where they stood.Even the audience sat without shifting in their seats.Victoria folded her hands together."How many years earlier?"My shoulders rose with a slow breath before settling again."We were children."Victoria inclined her head. "Tell us what happened."I looked toward the center camera.For the first time since the interview began, my a

    NORAThe doctor stepped out of the room and left me in silence. I sat on the edge of the exam table. My shoes were still damp from the walk in the rain, and the weight of the wedding ring on my finger felt like it was pulling my whole arm down.Without even thinking, I moved my hand to my stomach.

    NORAI stood in the corridor of Mercy General, and I was soaked to the bone. My hair was plastered to my face, and every time I moved, my shoes made a heavy sound on the floor. The nurse who called me was waiting at the ICU doors. She looked at my wet clothes, then at my face, but she didn't say an
