Six months after the FBI stops by for the second time, this time about Rome, Constance gets a call mid-morning, while she’s flipping through the paper, sipping her daily tea. “Hi, Mama,” Rome says.

“Boy, you are in so much trouble the next time I see you,” Constance says, wiping at her eyes.

“Uh, yeah, Mama, about that,” Rome says.

“You’re with Brian.” Constance nods to herself, not even needing Rome to confirm it. “Has he finally figured things out, then?”

“Not yet,” Rome laughs. “But he’s on the way. Even found himself a mate, if you can believe that.”

“Are you safe, baby?” Constance asks. “Are you happy?”

“Yes, Mama,” Rome tells her. He sounds happy. He sounds sure. “I’m not gonna say where, just in case there’re ears listenin’. But I am, Mama. I promise.”

“Alright, baby. That’s all I want for you.” She wipes at her eyes again. “Tell Brian to take care of you ‘cause if he don’t, I’ll tan his hide.”

Rome laughs again. “I will. I gotta go. I’ll try and call back. Give my love to everyone.”

“I love you, Rome,” Constance says.

“I love you, Mama,” her baby boy murmurs, and then he hangs up.

Constance sets the phone down, sips her tea, and returns to the newspaper. She doesn’t believe her line is tapped, and if it is, whoever’s listening won’t let her know anyway. But Rome is safe. Rome is happy.

Her baby boy is free. That’s all she wants for him.

But there’s a whole pack that needs her, so she wipes her eyes one more time and goes to spread the news.
