The photograph Marlene snatched from Lily had been taken only six weeks earlier.
Anna.
Older.
Hair cut to her shoulders.
Standing beside a garden.
The back contained a date and facility name.
Willow Creek Supported Living.

Not Bend.
Silver Pines had discharged Anna eighteen months earlier.
Where did she go?

Why was she still there?
She was not legally required to remain.

I had not remarried.
