The five minutes left in the drive over to the house were awkward. The only thing that interrupted the silence was me saying whatever I felt Marie wanted to hear. I said things that would at least make her feel like it wasn’t the end of the world. Things like, “It’s going to be okay. We can adopt. You never know, anything could happen. God has the final say.” She’d nod in response each time I offered up another platitude, but her nod only confirmed that she’d heard my words. The look in her eyes said that she didn’t believe a damn thing I was saying. I couldn’t fault her for doubting. Hell, I didn’t even believe the words myself. Honestly, when Marie told me that she couldn’t have children, the world stopped spinning. I wasn’t sure that it would ever be okay. Coming from my world, where family is everything to the point where my siblings and I still lived under the same roof as our parents, I couldn’t imagine not being able to add to the legacy. We arrived at the house to find the kitchen empty.
