By six the next morning, I was dressed for work, staring at a cold cup of coffee while thinking about every birthday, holiday, and milestone I had missed inside that house.

Thirty minutes later, I made a decision.
I called the plant and told my supervisor there was an emergency.

Then I grabbed my keys and drove straight toward Hannah’s neighborhood.

The security gates were opening for a landscaping truck when I arrived. Nobody stopped me when I followed closely behind it before the gates closed again.

I felt painfully out of place among the massive homes, perfect lawns, and stone fountains.

Up close, Hannah’s house looked even larger.

I almost turned around.

Then Preston’s words replayed in my mind.

If she ever steps inside this house…

So I climbed out of the Buick, marched up to the front door, and rang the bell.

A few seconds later, Hannah opened it.

The moment she saw me, every bit of color drained from her face.

“Mom?”

I stepped past her before she could stop me.
