Chapter 12

• Through Elroy’s Eyes
• My mother lived in the southern tower. I made my visits here as frequently as I could to help ease her seclusion, but this was the first time in a while I’d had actual news to share.
• I was internally giddy to inform her she was going to be a grandmother, but I hadn’t actually asked Olivia. As desperate as I was to see my mother’s face light up it would be wrong to spill the proverbial beans without Olivia’s say-so, so I begrudgingly decided I’d tell her on my visit tomorrow and stick to the other news.
