Hope Girl
“I hear Michael and my mom and also two kids, maybe a boy and a girl. They’re eating breakfast—I smell coffee and hear the toaster pop up.
When they finish, Michael sends the kids outside to play and asks my mom to come to the living room with him. “Margaret,” he says, “remember how I told you that your former husband found your daughter, River?”
“Oh, Michael,” she says, “do we need to get into that again? You know how much it bothers me. I don’t remember them.”
“But you realize there’s a six-ye...ar period of your life that you’ve forgotten.”
“Honestly, Michael, that’s what I’m told. But sometimes I don’t know what to believe.”
“I would never lie to you, Margaret. I’m asking that you trust me. Will you do that?”
“I’ll try. What’s going on?”
“This will come as a shock,” he says, “but River came here last night. That’s why Wilson was barking.”
There’s silence.
Michael says, “She wants to meet you, Margaret. She’s waited her entire life, and she finally found you.”MoreLess
