I was running late for Emily’s birthday party downtown. Frantically, I did my hair and makeup, grabbed my phone, and called an Uber. The driver’s name was Ethan, and he’d be here in five minutes. As I rushed to get ready, I made sure to wear Mom’s watch, a delicate silver piece that always brought me luck.
When Ethan arrived, he greeted me with a friendly smile. During the ride, he glanced at my watch and asked if my mom was Janet Wilkerson. Shocked, I confirmed. He revealed he had given the watch to my mom in college, and that she had stolen it from him. Ethan’s revelations about my mom’s past as a thief and her relationship with my dad left me reeling. My world turned upside down, and I knew I needed answers from my mom.
