Chapter 17: Alone
I carried the presents out to the kitchen and put them on the table in front of my children.
Then I put the folder down beside the cake.
Ezio looked at it.
Coco was already tearing paper.
His mother was cutting the cake.
His man by the back door was eating a slice off a napkin.
Nobody else saw his face change.
I did.
"Open them," I told the twins. "I need to talk to Ezio in the parlor."
Coco's box held a red dog collar with a little brass tag that said COCO'S DOG.
"There's no dog," she said.
"Not yet," Ezio said, without looking away from me.
Ozzie's box held a black fountain pen and a leather notebook with OSCAR CALLAWAY stamped on the cover in gold.
He touched the letters with one finger.
He didn't say anything at all.
That was how I knew it was the best present he'd ever had.
In the parlor I stood by his father's piano.
He shut the door behind him.
He didn't come any closer.
"Read it to me," I said.
"Marin."
"You wrote it. Read it to me."
