Chapter 22: The Letter

I read it in the second-floor bedroom with the door shut.

Ronan had asked if I wanted him there, and I had said yes.

He sat on the end of the tightly made bed with his hands between his knees.

The envelope was heavy for its size.

I slit it with my thumbnail.

Two sheets of lined paper came out, and something small and metal that fell into my lap with a click.

My father's hand had been steady the day he wrote it, in square capitals, the way he labeled tool drawers.

"Jackie,"

"If you're reading this, the lady who carried it is braver than me, or the whole thing came apart."

"Here's what she told me today, with the paper."

"The Farnsworth woman will pay for a nurse as long as I need one."

"The price is you don't get matched with her son."

"I said yes."

I stopped, and put my fist against my mouth.

Ronan didn't move.

"I didn't tell you because you'd have said no."

"You'd have carried me yourself till you broke."

"I wanted a nurse so you could finish school instead of turning me every four hours."
