After Mother Died, the Don Followed Her
In the car, Mommy stroked my hair and leaned close to my ear, whispering:
“After I’m gone, you’ll live with Grandpa, okay? I’ve put everything in your name, so don’t worry about anything.”
“You can’t give those things to anyone, not even Daddy. Understand?”
I half understood, and nodded.
Back home, Daddy and Auntie Benita were sitting close together on the couch.
There were several big boxes in the living room, which were Auntie Benita’s luggage.
Mommy’s eyes landed on the boxes, and her face slowly went white.
She turned her back to Daddy and started coughing, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
Then she carefully wiped it all clean with her handkerchief.
