Chapter 22 - LUCY’S FIRST VISIT TO GRANDPA
When Lucy was six weeks old, Natalie agreed to visit my father’s house.
Not for a party.
Forty-five minutes.
Dad.
Lily.
My aunt Karen, who had apologized for repeating the “she tripped” story before seeing evidence.
No Ryan.
The staircase remained.
Of course.
Natalie stopped when she saw it.
I moved toward her.
She held up one hand.
Not yet.
She stared.
Then took Lucy’s carrier from me.
Walked past the bottom step.
Into the living room.
No ceremony.
Later Dad asked:
“Do you want me to remodel it?”
Natalie almost smiled.
“No.”
“I could change the railing.”
“The railing did not push me.”
Dad looked down.
“I know.”
May you like
Good.
The house did not need to confess for Ryan.
