“I loved you with all my heart, I really did. I was a damn good mother and gave you my unconditional love from Day One.” She lit a cigarette and cracked the window. “But sometimes love creates a bunch of problems that turn into profound and everlasting hatred.”

Remember when you were five or so, the two of us climbing the ladder to the top of our game, a red-haired and freckle-faced team starring in those Sunday supplement department store ads, me passing for a teenager and you positively adorable as my kid brother.”
