He gave me an address ten minutes away.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

A locksmith.<\/p>\n

When I arrived, the older man glanced from the keys to me.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose Liam\u2019s?\u201d<\/p>\n

I set them on the counter.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou tell me.\u201d<\/p>\n

He picked up the blue key.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh. That\u2019s Mrs. Palmer\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stared at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho is Mrs. Palmer?\u201d<\/p>\n

His face went blank.<\/p>\n

Too blank.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should probably ask Liam.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been trying.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bell above the shop door jingled.<\/p>\n

Liam walked in.<\/p>\n

He looked at the keys on the counter, then at me.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t \u2018hey\u2019 me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The locksmith suddenly became fascinated by a display of padlocks.<\/p>\n

I folded my arms.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho is Mrs. Palmer?\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam rubbed the back of his neck.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMeryl.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo more mystery tour. You can explain this right here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI could.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it won\u2019t make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stared at him.<\/p>\n

He picked up the blue key.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease\u2026 come with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/p>\n

Ten minutes later, I was sitting beside Liam as he drove through a quiet neighborhood.<\/p>\n

He pulled up beside a small yellow bungalow.<\/p>\n

An elderly woman was watering flowers near the porch.<\/p>\n

The moment she saw him, she waved.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiam!\u201d<\/p>\n

Then she noticed me.<\/p>\n

Her entire face brightened.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou finally brought Meryl!\u201d<\/p>\n

I climbed out beside him.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally?\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam briefly closed his eyes.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Palmer laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, honey, I\u2019ve been telling him for months I wanted to meet you.\u201d<\/p>\n

That wasn\u2019t what I\u2019d expected.<\/p>\n

Inside, she made coffee while Liam explained.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Mrs. Palmer used to be one of his clients.<\/p>\n

He\u2019d helped her with some work around the house the year before, and she\u2019d apparently adopted him as her unofficial handyman ever since.<\/p>\n

Three months earlier, Mrs. Palmer had slipped in her bathroom.<\/p>\n

Unable to reach her phone or stand up, she\u2019d spent almost four hours on the floor before her daughter arrived.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe worst part wasn\u2019t falling,\u201d Mrs. Palmer told me. \u201cIt was hearing my phone ring in the next room and knowing nobody could get through the door.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam looked away.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Palmer continued.<\/p>\n

Her daughter lived forty minutes away. A neighbor checked on her occasionally, but nobody nearby had reliable access.<\/p>\n

So Liam helped her create an emergency plan.<\/p>\n

Her daughter already had a key. The retired nurse six houses down was supposed to get another, but her copy hadn\u2019t worked.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that one?\u201d I asked, pointing at the blue key.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe replacement,\u201d Liam said. \u201cI had it cut this morning. I was bringing it to her today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Palmer touched his arm.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe thinks of everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

No affair.<\/p>\n

No second apartment.<\/p>\n

Just Liam being the man everyone called when something went wrong.<\/p>\n

Relief should have ended the mystery.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Because there were still three keys in my hand.<\/p>\n

I held up the green one.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhose is this?\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam said nothing.<\/p>\n

The warmth disappeared from Mrs. Palmer\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake her to Frank.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam looked at her.<\/p>\n

\u201cMrs. Palmer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re supposed to be on my side.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am,\u201d she shrugged. \u201cShe\u2019s your wife.\u201d<\/p>\n

I looked between them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho is Frank?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Palmer gave me a sad little smile.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first door.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/p>\n

Twenty minutes later, we stood outside an aging brick apartment building on the other side of town.<\/p>\n

A man with white hair opened the door before Liam knocked twice.<\/p>\n

Frank looked at Liam.<\/p>\n

Then at me.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou finally told her?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cApparently everybody in this city knows more about my husband than I do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frank winced. \u201cNot everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cComforting.\u201d<\/p>\n

He invited us inside.<\/p>\n

The apartment was ordinary. Baseball played quietly on the television beside a plate holding half a sandwich.<\/p>\n

Then I noticed a photograph on the bookshelf.<\/p>\n

Liam.<\/p>\n

Much younger.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Standing beside another man.<\/p>\n

His father.<\/p>\n

I knew immediately.<\/p>\n

Liam\u2019s dad had died seven years before we met.<\/p>\n

He rarely talked about the details.<\/p>\n

I knew he\u2019d died suddenly at home.<\/p>\n

That was about it.<\/p>\n

Frank sat down.<\/p>\n

\u201cI lived across the hall from his father.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam remained standing.<\/p>\n

Frank looked toward him.<\/p>\n

\u201cSit down, kid.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m 41.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam sat.<\/p>\n

Frank told me the rest.<\/p>\n

Liam\u2019s father had lived alone.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Apparently, he\u2019d offered Liam a spare apartment key several times.<\/p>\n

Liam always refused.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe thought I was being dramatic,\u201d Liam muttered.<\/p>\n

Frank snorted. \u201cYou thought your father was being dramatic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSame thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then came the morning his father stopped answering his phone.<\/p>\n

Liam drove straight over.<\/p>\n

He knocked, called, and eventually pounded on the door until Frank stepped into the hall.<\/p>\n

Neither of them had a key, and locating building management took precious time.<\/p>\n

When the door finally opened, it was already too late.<\/p>\n

His father had died from a sudden medical emergency.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one knows whether getting in sooner would\u2019ve changed anything,\u201d Frank said.<\/p>\n

Liam stared at the floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frank\u2019s voice softened.<\/p>\n

\u201cKnowing and believing are different things, son.\u201d<\/p>\n

The green key rested in my palm.<\/p>\n

Frank nodded toward it.<\/p>\n

\u201cMine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy does Liam have it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause after his father died, I gave him one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam looked over.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou were living alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frank shrugged.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you were 20-something and looked like you hadn\u2019t slept in a month.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you let him keep your key?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n

Frank nodded.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought it made him feel better.\u201d He looked at Liam. \u201cFor a while, I think it did.\u201d<\/p>\n

I started remembering things.<\/p>\n

Liam checking our spare key before vacations.<\/p>\n

Giving the dog sitter two emergency numbers.<\/p>\n

Replacing smoke-detector batteries long before they ever chirped.<\/p>\n

Stashing jumper cables, first-aid supplies, bottled water, flashlights, tools, blankets, and enough chargers in his SUV to power a small airport.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d always teased him.<\/p>\n

\u201cPreparedness is attractive,\u201d he\u2019d say.<\/p>\n

But Frank was looking at him differently.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou still doing it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam slowly let out the breath he\u2019d been holding.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoing what?\u201d<\/p>\n

Frank pointed toward the keys.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam sighed. \u201cThey asked.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of them?\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam didn\u2019t answer.<\/p>\n

Frank leaned back.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou keep trying to get through that door, son.\u201d<\/p>\n

The room went completely quiet.<\/p>\n

Liam looked toward his father\u2019s photograph.<\/p>\n

For the first time since I\u2019d found the keys, I wasn\u2019t wondering who they belonged to.<\/p>\n

I was wondering what they were doing to my husband.<\/p>\n

Then I remembered the red one.<\/p>\n

I pulled it from my pocket.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam looked at me.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlue is Mrs. Palmer. Green is Frank. Yellow is somebody else you\u2019re helping.\u201d<\/p>\n

He nodded.<\/p>\n

I held up the red key.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo who\u2019s red?\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam froze.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t fear.<\/p>\n

He simply looked caught.<\/p>\n

I waited.<\/p>\n

Finally he said, \u201cYou.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stared at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe live in the same house.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not for the house.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen what is it for?\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam stood.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeryl\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat did you make a key for?\u201d<\/p>\n

He looked at Frank.<\/p>\n

Frank raised both hands.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t involve me. I enjoy being alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam took his jacket.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome on.\u201d<\/p>\n

I followed him outside and stopped beside his SUV.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiam, where are we going?\u201d<\/p>\n

He looked at the red key in my hand.<\/p>\n

Then at me.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour mechanic.\u201d<\/p>\n

And suddenly I remembered exactly where my own car had been all day.<\/p>\n

At the mechanic, Liam walked straight to the counter.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here about Meryl\u2019s car.\u201d<\/p>\n

The employee glanced at the red-capped key in my hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh. You already picked up the spare.\u201d<\/p>\n

I slowly turned toward Liam.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou had a spare made for my car?\u201d<\/p>\n

He nodded.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou told me once you locked yourself out of your old car.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat happened before we even met, Liam.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n

I waited.<\/p>\n

He looked embarrassed now.<\/p>\n

\u201cI figured if it ever happened again, I\u2019d have one.\u201d<\/p>\n

I held up the key.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd when were you planning to tell me?\u201d<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t answer quickly enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiam, if you\u2019d asked, I probably would\u2019ve said yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

His eyes lifted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen why didn\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n

He rubbed both hands over his face.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause asking means there was a chance you\u2019d say no.\u201d<\/p>\n

That answer made everything suddenly clear.<\/p>\n

Liam didn\u2019t just like being prepared.<\/p>\n

He needed to know there was always a way in.<\/p>\n

I set the red key on the counter between us.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re making keys for doors I never asked you to open.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just a spare, Meryl.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stepped closer.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that\u2019s why this scares me. You love me. You\u2019re trying to protect me. But somewhere along the way, you started deciding that being worried gives you permission to make the decision first.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam stared at the floor.<\/p>\n

For several seconds, neither of us spoke.<\/p>\n

Then he said, \u201cI still dream about the lock.\u201d<\/p>\n

I had never heard that before.<\/p>\n

Not once.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe apartment?\u201d<\/p>\n

He nodded.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m outside. Dad\u2019s inside. I know something\u2019s wrong, and I\u2019m just standing there. And every time somebody gives me a key, that dream gets quieter for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

I looked at the red key between us.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis one isn\u2019t yours to carry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam stared at it for a moment.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Then he pushed it across the counter toward me.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re right.\u201d<\/p>\n

That afternoon, we finished the little route Liam had planned.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The yellow key went to the person it had actually been made for.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Palmer\u2019s blue key went to the retired nurse six houses away.<\/p>\n

Frank insisted Liam keep the green one.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked him to,\u201d Frank told me firmly.<\/p>\n

That mattered.<\/p>\n

Later, we stopped across from Liam\u2019s father\u2019s old apartment building.<\/p>\n

He sat staring at the entrance.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t tell him it wasn\u2019t his fault.<\/p>\n

He already knew that.<\/p>\n

Knowing wasn\u2019t the problem.<\/p>\n

Eventually Liam started the SUV, then switched it off again.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan you drive?\u201d<\/p>\n

I looked at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah.\u201d<\/p>\n

He handed me the keys.<\/p>\n

When we finally got home, I parked and carried two grocery bags toward the porch.<\/p>\n

Liam reached automatically into his pocket.<\/p>\n

Then the other one.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeryl.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHmm?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe house key.\u201d<\/p>\n

I held it up.<\/p>\n

He stepped toward me, then stopped.<\/p>\n

For once, he wasn\u2019t the person with the backup.<\/p>\n

He wasn\u2019t the one opening the door.<\/p>\n

A smile slowly appeared on his face.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou got it.\u201d<\/p>\n

So I unlocked our front door.<\/p>\n

Our dog came charging toward us, nearly knocking a grocery bag from Liam\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n

He laughed and followed me inside.<\/p>\n

In his pocket was one spare key.<\/p>\n

Frank\u2019s green one.<\/p>\n

A key somebody had actually asked him to carry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
