Mr. Larkin.
Only young.
He had one arm around the girl.
In her arms was a baby wrapped in a knitted blanket.
I stared at the blanket first because I knew it.
My fingers went numb.
Yellow. With a crooked white border.
That blanket had lived in my grandmother’s cedar chest my entire childhood. She always said it had belonged to “a cousin.”
My fingers went numb.
I looked up at him. “How is this possible?”
