Her son.
Her savings.
Her health.

Court filings.
Letters.
Old recordings.

A cassette recording from 1992.
Ron’s voice.
Clear as day.
Telling someone:
“Once she’s exhausted enough, she’ll sign whatever I put in front of her.”
The exact same philosophy.
Thirty-four years later.
Different woman.
Different baby.
