One afternoon, when George caught me discreetly dumping a cinnamon-coated chicken disaster, he didn’t scold me. He pleaded with me not to let Evelyn know. My pretending, he said, was giving her back pieces of the joy she once felt with Emily. That moment changed everything; I started eating her meals not to be polite, but to honor her love.
Then George suffered a stroke and suddenly Evelyn was too afraid to cook for him. That’s when I stepped in—bringing a homemade dinner, offering comfort, weaving myself into their fragile, healing world. Our shared meals became a ritual, a slow stitching of grief into something gentler.
In time, Evelyn’s cooking improved. We celebrated the small victories together. I didn’t rebuild my old life, but I found something better: unexpected family in two grieving strangers who saved me without ever trying.
