“I’m not.”
“When? Where are you going?”
“I don’t know yet,” she said. “We’re going to talk about it this week.”
“You shoulda pinned him down.”
Misha laughed. “I don’t think he’s going to try to get out of it.”
At least, she hoped he wouldn’t.
“Iknewhe was interested in you, and I was right.”
She’d been more confident about that than Misha had been, but then she’d also had nothing to lose.
“Not to bring things down,” her mom said, suddenly looking nervous.
“What’s wrong, Mom?”
“Davontae’s been looking for us.”
“How do you know that?” Misha asked. “We aren’t supposed to be in contact with anyone in Atlanta for now.”
“I know.” Her mom sighed and looked down at her hands. “But it’s hard cutting people out of my life who have been my support for so long. I made a new email address and only gave it to Marion. She promised she wouldn’t share it with anyone.”
At least there was that. Marion was as good as her word. Not all of her mom’s friends would have kept their secret.
“So Von went to visit her?”
“Yeah. He stopped by yesterday.”
“What did she say to him?”
“She gave him a letter I left with her in case he went to see her.”
“A letter? Mom…”
“I didn’t give him any details about where we went,” she said. “I just needed him to know that I love him and that I wished we could have been safe there. I know he hasn’t made the best decisions, and probably will continue on that path, but he’s still my son.”
“I get it, Mom,” Misha said. “I love him too. It’s just hard to love the person he’s become because of what he’s allowed to happen to our family.”
Her mom nodded. “I made a copy of the letter if you want to see what I told him.”
“Did you leave any other letters with people?”
“Nope. I only trusted Marion. Plus, I figured he wouldn’t hurt her.”
All of that was true. Misha just hoped that it wouldn’t change. Davontae had never been known for having the most thought-out actions to begin with. Unfortunately, he’d become very reactive since Raden’s death, which had only worsened things for them.
“She said she let him check her phone to see that we hadn’t been in contact.”
“Except you email each other.”
“She made a new email too, and she only has it on her laptop. Her other email address is on her phone, and that’s the one he saw.”
Davontae had never really understood computers and the internet. Unlike Radon, who had lived for that stuff. He probably wouldn’t think about people setting up new emails and not using their phone to check them. At least, Misha hoped he wouldn’t.
“Have you been phoning Marion, too?”
