Eden
Three Years Later
“Eden? Uh, Miss…I’m sorry, I don’t have your last name written down
here.” The lawyer, Mr. Sutherland, leafed through the papers in front of
him.
“Yes, what is your last name anyway?” Claire, Felix’s daughter, asked
sharply. She leaned forward in her chair to look around Marissa to where I
was sitting. “I don’t think I’ve ever been told.”
I blinked, snapping back to the present. I had zoned out for a minute,
my mind conjuring up the many times I’d tried to engage Claire and her
brother, Charles, in small conversation over the years, even through the
early days of my anguish, even in spite of the overwhelming grief I was
trying to cope with day by seemingly never-ending day. I had only ever
been met with disdain. And now Felix was gone, and here we were, sitting
together in his lawyer’s office, where we’d been called to collect the last
things he’d been working on from his sickbed. My eyes darted to Marissa at
the question about my last name. Marissa glanced at the watch on her wrist.
“Mr. Sutherland, I hate to rush you here, but I know Eden has a lesson and I
have another appointment this afternoon.”
Mr. Sutherland cleared his throat. “Yes, of course. We’re basically
done. Mrs. Forester, I just need you to sign here and my secretary will put a
copy of the documents in the mail.”
Marissa leaned forward and signed the papers he slid in front of her
and then dropped the pen in her purse.
I scooted to the edge of my chair, clutching the large envelope Felix’s
lawyer had given me, the one with my name written across the front in
Felix’s handwriting, the bold penmanship that made my heart clench with
ache and loss. Oh, Felix, I can’t believe you’re gone.
“Now wait a minute here,” Charles, sitting to the right of his sister,
said. “What exactly is she getting in that envelope? We need a breakdown
of—”
“It’s nothing more than a personal letter,” Mr. Sutherland said
impatiently. “I assure you, Charles. The same thing that’s in each of your
envelopes.” He nodded to the large envelopes Claire and Charles were each
holding on their laps.
“All the same, if we could just inspect it—” Charles started.
“I’m sure Miss”—he glanced at me and then back at Charles—“I’m
sure Eden would kindly appease you by showing you the contents if it
would mean wrapping this meeting up.” Mr. Sutherland looked annoyed.
I let out a breath and stared at the attorney, my heart picking up speed.
This letter was all I had of Felix—I wouldn’t let them take it. I didn’t even
want them to rifle through it. It was mine in a world where nothing else
was. Marissa put one hand on my knee.
Like a whisper, it came, as it sometimes did: Be strong, Morning Glory.
I stood, holding the envelope against my chest like a life preserver.
“No, you may not inspect it,” I said just a little shakily. “If you were so
