Imagine my greater surprise when I learn about the secret thatâs been roaming Riverbend for the last five years. Here are a couple of hints: Sheâs five years old. She has her motherâs silky auburn hair and my golden eyes. The answer is simple. I take responsibility for the girl and go back to Chicago where my life awaits.
