I shove the door open, stopping dead at the sight that greets me.
Clothes spread across the floor, drawers pulled out, cupboards hanging
open. Has it finally happened? Have dad’s debts finally caught up with
him? It sure looks like it.
A shuffle of movement catches my eye. I turn to find my neighbor, Mrs.
Henderson, peering in at me.
“Never did get the damp sorted, did he?” she says, her nose wrinkling. “I
told him when he moved in here that he needed to get it fixed, what with
your mom having a baby on the way and all.
“What are you now, twenty-one? And the place still stinks. I said to Reggie,
God bless his soul, those new neighbors of ours are moving in, and the
pipes are shot, and she’s seven months gone and-”

like your Mom. You put up with too much bullshit from that asshole, excuse
my French.”
I manage a weak smile. “You remember much about my mom?”
“She had beautiful eyes, like yours. Never said a word in anger, that
woman. Working on those books of hers day and night to the end. When she
wasn’t traveling on those research trips. Worked so hard, unlike your father.
