Then Michael said something that changed everything again.
“We’ve tried to contact you,” he said carefully. “Several times.”

Some signed.
And one signature…

My daughter’s handwriting.
The same looping letters I once watched her practice at the kitchen table.

Not physically.
But inside me.
Michael continued, cautiously, explaining that a woman identifying herself as my daughter had come into another branch two months earlier.
She had asked about accessing assets.
