Chapter 15: Delaney's Cards

Delaney was on the farmhouse porch at eight the next morning, sitting on three suitcases.

She had let herself in with her own key, and the kitchen light was on behind her.

I pulled into the yard with my father in the passenger seat and Dale's truck behind us.

Four more trucks followed, full of growers who had come to carry my mother's cedar chest and her quilts out of the house.

My father had asked them to come himself.

Delaney stood up and smoothed her cream coat.

She looked tired, and her hair was flat on one side.

"Bert," she said, in her warmest voice. "Thank God. Mason has frozen everything I own, and I had nowhere else to go."

"You had a lake house," Dale said.

"It's Jarrett's name on the lease."

"Then go sit in Jarrett's name."

"This is my home." She turned to the trucks at the gate, and her voice rose so the neighbors could hear.

"I've lived in this house for six years."

"I'm still Mason's wife until a judge says I'm not."
