What exactly did she tell you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aaron thought for a moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat she\u2019d loved someone before my dad. Someone she thought she\u2019d build a life with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWas she happy afterward?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah.

You weren\u2019t some shadow over her whole life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lana had moved forward.<\/p>\n<p>So why had Patrick hidden her from me?<\/p>\n<p>I turned toward him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo this wasn\u2019t about protecting her memory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen who were you protecting?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The answer seemed obvious now.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick had carried the shame longer than Lana had carried the anger.<\/p>\n<p>Before I could say anything else, Alice spoke.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, Dad, there\u2019s something you don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Patrick looked at her.<\/p>\n<p>Alice glanced at Aaron first. He clearly already knew what she was about to say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI met Lana two months ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Patrick\u2019s expression changed instantly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou met her?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAaron took me to see her while I was in London.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aaron nodded, his thumb brushing the edge of the tattoo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe wasn\u2019t well by then, but she was having a good day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alice looked down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe died three weeks later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you,\u201d Aaron said quietly.<\/p>\n<p>Alice continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAaron stepped out for a few minutes while I was with her. Lana asked where I was from, so I told her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I watched Patrick closely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happened?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe talked for a while. Then she looked at me for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Patrick\u2019s fingers tightened around the edge of the table.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe said I had kind eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her voice softened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen she said there was something familiar about them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Patrick looked away first.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron rubbed his thumb across Alice\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t know she\u2019d said that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy would I think it meant anything?\u201d Alice said.<\/p>\n<p>She looked at Patrick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLana didn\u2019t know who I was. She couldn\u2019t have. I didn\u2019t know who she was to Dad either.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe probably just saw something that reminded her of another time,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n<p>Alice nodded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe. But after tonight, it feels different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then she looked at me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis whole thing is completely crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s one word for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut part of me is glad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I frowned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGlad?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat somehow our families crossed paths before either of us knew it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aaron looked at her.<\/p>\n<p>Alice squeezed his hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that sounds strange.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n<p>She took a breath.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know three months doesn\u2019t sound sensible. But it feels right when I\u2019m with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aaron stayed quiet, which made me trust him more.<\/p>\n<p>Alice looked at him, then back at me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAaron\u2019s lost both his parents. I\u2019m not marrying him because I feel sorry for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFamily just matters differently after that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I took her free hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen promise me something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t marry him because you want to replace what he\u2019s lost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI won\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd don\u2019t postpone your life because tonight frightened everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her expression softened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo what are you telling me to do?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m telling you it\u2019s your decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJess, they\u2019ve known each other for three months,\u201d Patrick said.<\/p>\n<p>I turned toward him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd they\u2019re the ones who have to decide whether that\u2019s enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m her father.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I\u2019m her mother.
