My Boyfriend Vanished When I Told Him I Was Pregnant—Then Grandpa Saw My Baby’s Face and Revealed a 20-Year Secret
His aunt.
Caleb had once told me about his father’s younger sister, Victoria.
She’d died when Caleb was a teenager.
Then another sentence:
If anything happens to me, Walter knows enough to keep you away from them. I hope he never has to tell you.
I looked toward Grandpa’s room downstairs.
He hadn’t betrayed Mom’s wishes casually.
He had spent twenty years terrified.
But there was something else inside the envelope.
A photograph.
My mother.
A much younger Evelyn.
And a third woman holding an infant.
On the back:
Margaret, Sarah, Evelyn — 1998.
Except that couldn’t be right.
My mother would have been a child.
I flipped it over.
