The chain was still on. I could see it, a stupid little brass line between her and the world. My world. I kept my voice low, a flat calm that I knew got under her skin. “Open the door. I’m not asking.”
That single dark eye in the slit, glaring. Full of a hate she learned because of me. “Get off my porch.”
“Our porch.” The correction was automatic. “I pay for this house. I see the receipts. That makes it mine. That makes him mine.” I tilted my head, trying to see past her into the dim hall. I could hear a cartoon jingle. He was in there. “I’m not leaving until I see my son.”
“He’s not your son.” Her voice was a tight wire.
“He’s got my blood. That’s all that matters in the end. Now open the goddamn door before I make you remember who you’re talking to.” The words were out, ugly and quiet, before I could stop them. The old way. The real way. The door slammed shut, but I didn’t move. I just stood there, listening to the silence she made for me on the other side. She could hide, but she couldn’t erase it. He was in there. And he was mine.
