I reached into my canvas bag and took out the small dark wood frame I had bought on High Street after meeting Heather.

I carefully set Maddie’s purple flower drawing behind the clean glass and pressed down the four metal tabs on the back.

Paige followed me into the kitchen as I picked up two round silver magnets from the counter.

I stuck the magnets to the frame and fixed Maddie’s purple drawing in the middle of the white refrigerator door.

“Is he really out of your life for good now?” Paige asked from the kitchen counter.

I looked at the bright purple crayon petals standing out against the clean white enamel.
