In former years, Tuck and Claire had packed the children up and hauled them to Fair Park near downtown Dallas to ride the Ferris wheel and eat fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, an annual favorite of fairgoers. Claire hadn’t attended the fair in years, not since the kids were grown, certainly. Crowds strolling the midway and crying toddlers with cotton-candy hands weren’t exactly her idea of a good time. So when Max called and extended an invitation, she initially turned him down, instead urging him to consider an afternoon trip to the Crow Collection of Asian Art, where they were exhibiting treasures of jade and objects of art from China’s imperial dynasties. “C’mon, Mom. Let’s go have fun. Just the two of us,” Max said. “I’ll even follow you around the quilt exhibit. Huh, what do you say?” What could she say? She’d park on the moon to spend time with one of her kids, even if it meant going to the fair.
