Delilah finally decided to break the long silence and held out the photograph to him. “This is the picture I found,” she said. “It’s what led me to you.” James took hold of the photograph and nodded in understanding. “It was the very first international trip I had taken, and since I had nobody else, I had decided to send this in a postcard to John.”
Delilah nodded, listening intently. She decided to finally stop beating around the bush and ask the question out loud, “Forgive me for being so upfront, but would you please tell me about your and John’s childhood and why my husband never mentioned you to us?”
