Mom’s name flashed on the screen.

“Your father collapsed.

He’s at Jefferson Memorial. Come now.”

I drove 45 minutes through empty highways in my 2015 Camry, the one with 120,000 miles and a check-engine light I’d been ignoring for months. When I pulled into the hospital parking lot, I spotted Marcus’s black Mercedes gleaming under the fluorescent lights.
