Soon after, Eric walked in and threw his keys next to the answering machine. “Mom, I’m home!” he yelled. He hesitated pushing the button, but managed to press it anyway. He listened to messages from friends and family members still calling to send well wishes. The last caller was from someone named Susan. He continued to listen, “Hello! My name is Susan Nash. I met your daughter a few months ago at Dr. Collins office, and I was wondering if I could speak to you? It’s extremely important. I have some information that could be very helpful to you. Please call me at 513-555-5544.” Eric clicked to save the message. He walked toward the bathroom door and knocked several times before his mother answered. Jean opened the door. The dark circles had become more profound as the weeks and months faded away. “Are you okay, Mom?” asked Eric. “I’ll be fine, son,” she said as she headed toward the kitchen to check on her tea. Eric responded, “Someone left a message on the answering machine saying that she knew MaryAnn and wanted to talk to you.” Jean’s heart began racing, “Who was it?” “She said her name is Susan Nash, but she didn’t leave any more details. I think you better listen to the call yourself,” Eric said. Jean rushed over to press the button on the answering machine.
