Suzuki greeted him at the door of her office with a cool hug that smelled of lavender. “Adam, I’m so sorry about your mother.” He nodded, sat on the couch across from her. “Yeah. She’d had a second bypass. It seemed to have gone okay, but then she just crashed. Full system failure. They couldn’t bring her back.” “Are you doing okay?” “No. No, I’m not.” He pushed his clenched fists against his eyes. “I wasn’t ready for her to go. I pictured a different future, where she was healthy and happy, helping me raise the kids. I’ve got a lot to fill you in on.” He told her about his mother’s collapse, taking her to the hospital, dropping the kids off with their Lahaina grandparents. His showdown with Cherisse. “At least what came out of that is that I have my case moving forward. I hired a PI to help me get the kids back, and the Vierras are on board with sharing custody.”
