Chapter 32: First Birthday
The postmark said October 2013.
Two months before the night in the cooler.
I unfolded it on my knees in the gray light.
One page, both sides, in her round, careful hand.
Mama.
I'm sending this through your man.
He carried me on his shoulders at the Feast when I was five, and I think he still would.
I'm afraid.
I won't write the name. If I'm wrong, I ruin a man for nothing. If I'm right, writing it gets us killed.
If anything happens to us, find my girl.
She's fifteen. She bakes better than her father, and she's meaner than me.
You'll know her.
The day she was born, I put a curl of her hair behind my picture in the locket you gave me at sixteen.
Her name and her birthday are with it. The frame lifts. You showed me how.
I never said I was sorry for leaving. I'm not.
I'm sorry I left you alone in that house.
If she ever has children, I hope she lets you hold them.
Your daughter, who still sings the song.
I read it twice.
Then I sat on the edge of the bed with the page in my lap and didn't make a sound.
