PART 2
The first document I placed before Judge Patricia Wynn was not the insurance policy. It was something much worse. It was a handwritten letter. A letter written by my father, Arthur Marsh, dated January 12, 1994, exactly one month before he left me at the Greyhound station. I watched the judge open the folder. She adjusted her glasses and began reading. At first, her expression remained neutral.
Then her eyebrows drew together. She read the first paragraph again, slower this time. Finally, she looked up. “Mr. Marsh, where did you obtain this document?” “From a storage unit registered under my father’s name, Your Honor. The private investigator I hired located it after reviewing several old financial records.”
**PART 3**
My father’s face changed.
Not dramatically. Not enough for someone unfamiliar with him to notice.
But I noticed.
His jaw tightened, and his right hand moved toward his tie.
I had seen that gesture before.
I had seen it when I was a little boy and accidentally broke a glass. I had seen it when I asked why we couldn’t visit Grandma. I had seen it when I asked whether he loved me.
It was the gesture he made whenever he knew something was about to go wrong.
Judge Wynn began reading.
“‘Evelyn believes the arrangement is the only way to get our finances under control. The boy will be difficult to explain, but once he is gone, we can finally start over without another mouth to feed.’”
My mother immediately shook her head.
“That’s not what it means!”
The judge raised one hand.
“Mrs. Marsh, you will have an opportunity to respond. Please allow me to finish.”
