By two o’clock, it’s time to close the bakery. I leave Maya and Luke to clean
up. I want to go upstairs, get a shower, and go over to the bar to help
Brendan. As soon as I get back to my apartment, though, my gaze falls on the
card still sitting on the table.
The tower.
Why haven’t I put it back into the deck?
But I know why.
I’ve been waiting. I’ve been waiting, hoping I could get some kind of
positive thought from it.
But nothing has worked.
Not kneading bread this morning.
Hell, not even sex with Brendan last night.
I’m still getting nothing but negative feelings from the damned card.
Mother.
My mother.
I haven’t drawn that card—the empress—but why is my mom at the
forefront of my thoughts?
Because the card sometimes can mean illness, and I’m so very afraid
she’ll get sick again.
Ill, and about to celebrate her twenty-fifth anniversary.
Plus, she hasn’t gotten back to me with her interpretation of the message.
She said she had apps that could help decode it. I certainly don’t have access
to the kind of software my private investigator mother has, but I can easily
find apps that may help.
I head to the sink, wash the flour off my hands. Then I fire up my laptop
and type Darth Morgen.
Nothing I haven’t already seen.
My mother was thinking it might have a code embedded in the letters,
with each of the letters standing for a different letter. I could start with R. It
appears twice so it would be the same letter.
But what if it’s not?
What if the code isn’t letter per letter but based on something else?
Like perhaps, the letter that precedes it?
God, where to start?
I rise, grab a pad of paper and a pen from a drawer in the kitchen, and
come back. I write the letters on the piece of paper.
Darth Morgen.
Then I start playing with them.
What if these letters were rearranged? What if it’s one big word? Or
several small words? An anagram?
I play with it for a little while, finding several three-letter words and
writing them down, but then I laugh.
“What the hell are you doing?” I say out loud. “If you’re looking for
anagrams, find an anagram maker online.”
I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before. I was so overwhelmed
with my developing feelings for Brendan and with the cards that were telling
me all kinds of horrible things. Plus, I was depending on my mother. My excop private-investigator mother who said she could decipher it.
But she kept putting me off.
