“I know, I know, I—” She fluttered a hand in the air. “I mean there had to be a reason. I’ve been asking Marie about things—their finances and so on—and she says they’re fine, but I know better. Honestly, if it had become that bad, why wouldn’t he just have asked...?” Her voice trailed off as she slowly shook her head. “Maybe he borrowed from the...the wrong people.”
“He didn’t borrow. Their finances were fine. Marie didn’t lie to you.”
“Drugs, then.” She said it almost hopefully. “Maybe he was on some sort of drugs that—”
“He wasn’t on drugs, Mother.” Ironically, she was, but prescriptions, as she so often reminded him, were not really drugs. They were drugs, but not, you know, drugs.
Mason took a breath. She wasn’t going to let go of this. “Eric had...problems. You know that.”
“No.” She shook her head. “Not problems. He was a quiet boy. Scared. But that’s natural, of course. Six years old, coming to a new country, a whole new family, learning a new language. We don’t even know what happened to his birth family in Russia.” She lowered her head again. “We never asked him, you know.”
