Mia's POV

The school hallway stretched ahead of us, lined with construction paper artwork and alphabet posters. This kind of cheerful educational décor that felt surreal after what had just happened. Kyle walked beside me, his footsteps uneven on the polished linoleum. I could hear the slight wheeze in his breathing.

"Their classroom is down here," I said, though he hadn't asked.

We passed a bulletin board displaying "My Family" drawings, stick figures holding hands under crayon suns. I wondered if Alexander and Ethan had contributed to this display, if their pictures showed a family of three. Mom, two boys, and a dog, or if they'd included the various adults who drifted in and out of their lives. Thomas. My mother. The memory of a father they barely knew.

Kyle's reflection moved beside mine in the glass of classroom doors as we passed.

"Here," I said, stopping outside Room 4B.

Through the window in the door, I could see Ms. Rodriguez reading to a circle of children seated crisscross

    Mia's POV"Madison," I said gently, "I need to talk to you about something."Her grip on the elephant tightened. "Am I in trouble?""No, baby. You're not in trouble. You haven't done anything wrong." I reached out to smooth her tangled hair. "But Uncle Thomas is going to come pick you up this morning.""Why?""Some people who cared about your daddy want to talk to you," I said. "They want to ask you questions about him, about your memories."Madison's face went very still. "What kind of questions?""Questions about your family. About your mom and dad.""I don't want to answer questions," Madison said, her voice getting smaller. "I want to stay here with you and Alexander and Ethan."My heart cracked down the middle. "I know, sweetheart. I want that too.""Then why do I have to go?""Grandma and grandpa want to hear you voice, I guess." I said. Madison sat down heavily on the kitchen floor, cross-legged, the elephant in her lap. "I don't like.""I don't like them either,

    Mia's POVI settled onto the floor beside Ethan, the cool hardwood pressing through my pajama pants. The city sprawled beyond our window, a constellation of yellow squares marking lives in progress.People eating late dinners, children being tucked into bed, adults staying up too late scrolling through their phones. Each person had their own life story.Ethan's profile was sharp against the ambient light from the street below."You said he is ill today," Ethan repeated.I reached out to smooth his dark hair. "Yes, sweetheart. Kyle is sick.""What kind of sick?""It's a kind of sick that makes people very tired and thin," I said carefully.Ethan absorbed this, his small fingers tracing patterns on his pajama pants. "Is that why he looks different from the pictures?The ones in the box under your bed. I found them when we were playing hide-and-seek. ""Those pictures are old," I said. "From before you and Alexander were born.""He's stupid. If you love someone, you don't leave them."Etha

    Mia"We already have an uncle," Ethan said finally. "We don't need another one.""That's okay too," Kyle said. "There's no wrong answer."After dinner. I started gathering the empty containers and plates, and Kyle moved to help."It's bath time," I announced to the children, who had migrated back to their toys on the living room floor.Alexander groaned dramatically. "But we just ate. You're supposed to wait thirty minutes after eating before you do anything with water or you'll get cramps and die.""That's swimming, not bathing," I corrected. "And you're not going to die from taking a bath after dinner.""Can Kyle help with bath time?" Alexander asked hopefully, apparently having decided that any adult presence was potentially useful for negotiating extended play time."Kyle's probably tired—""I don't mind helping," Kyle said quietly. "If you'd like me to.""I don't mind helping with Alexander," Kyle said quietly. "If you'd like me to.""Okay," I said, making a quick decision. "You

    Mia"Are we ordering dinner now?" Alexander asked hopefully. "Alexander, what kind of chicken do you want?" I said."The kind that's crispy and comes with those little biscuits," Alexander said without hesitation."They have a family meal," Kyle said, studying the menu. "Feeds four to six people. Chicken, biscuits, mashed potatoes, coleslaw.""That's a lot of food," I said."We can have leftovers," Kyle replied. "Kids like leftovers, right?""Kids like some leftovers," I corrected. "These particular kids will eat the chicken and biscuits tonight and ignore everything else until it goes bad in the refrigerator."Kyle smiled, a real smile. "Then we'll order extra chicken."I called in the order, arranging for delivery in forty-five minutes. I called in the order, arranging for delivery in forty-five minutes. When I hung up, I found the children had arranged themselves in the living room with Kyle.Alexander had positioned himself directly next to Kyle on the couch, chattering about hi

    MiaAlexander bounced on his toes like a spring had been released inside him. "Yes! Yes yes yes!"He spun toward Kyle, words tumbling out so fast they blurred together. "We always eat at six-thirty except on Sundays when we have pancakes for dinner which is backwards but fun and after dinner we play games or read stories or sometimes watch a movie if it's Friday and—" He paused to gulp air, then continued without missing a beat. "Do you like board games? We have Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders and Ethan always wins at checkers but I'm better at the memory game where you flip over cards—"I felt my chest tighten watching him. Kyle's lips parted slightly, as if Alexander's enthusiasm had stolen his breath. Madison's hand tightened around mine, her small fingers pressing into my palm like she was anchoring herself. She tilted her head up to look at me, her eyebrows drawn together in that small frown that always made my heart ache. "Will there be enough food?" she asked quietly.Madiso
