What the Bread Was For
In August, Marlowe gave birth to a healthy girl, and named her Posy.
Desmond was the biological father, so his name went on the birth certificate.
Marlowe chose not to file for child support.
Instead she wrote him a plain letter, simply telling him his daughter had come into the world.
Junia intercepted that letter too, and wrote across it in red ink — Desmond is finally happy without you.
Forget this address — and sent it back.
