I found Anna’s house and sat in my car for a long time, wondering what on earth I was doing there.
Finally, I gathered my courage and knocked on the door.
I recognized Anna immediately.
Her hair was gray, and she had wrinkles just like I did, but it was unmistakably her.
I said hello and explained everything about Carol.
Anna greeted me and offered her condolences.
Then she took a breath and said:
“Yes, I think I know why your wife told you to find me.
Many years ago, I came looking for you, but Carol was the one who met me.
There’s something you don’t know.
I guess her conscience finally caught up with her.
Come in.
You’d better sit down.”
—
What did Carol do all those years ago — and what secret has Anna been carrying ever since?
