Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Homecoming

“Honey!” exclaimed the woman who was no doubt Addie’s mother. They were the spitting image of one another. I did a double take just to be certain that I was not hallucinating. But no, I was not seeing double; the woman hugging Addie was simply an older version of her down to the last freckle.

“Oh, how I’ve missed you so much,” she squealed, squeezing Adeline’s head into her bosom.

I definitely had a few screws loose.
