I read her husband's eulogy without letting my voice crack once.
Then she asked me to stay away — and I did. Six years. Not a call, not a card back, nothing. I kept it like a full glass of water carried across a long room.
Now Wren Delacroix is standing in a fairground parking lot with chalk on her cheek and a nine-year-old who tells me every secret her mother has.
I'm the president of this club. I'm the man this town comes to when the worst thing happens. Nobody's supposed to see what's underneath that.
She sees it in about eleven minutes.
There's a motorcycle under a tarp in my shed that hasn't run since before he died. I've paid the insurance on it for six years and I've never once been able to say why.
How do you tell a woman you've loved her since the day you buried her husband?
