Once the servant had taken the kids off to their rooms, she caught me off guard with a question. “Caleb, when are you planning to head out?” she asked, looking right at me.

I was taken aback for a moment.
Then, it hit me.
Jenifer probably overheard the chat I had with my friends.

My heart started racing, and I couldn’t help but worry.
Now that she was in on my secret, what was she going to do? Would she cover for me, or would she tell the truth to Dad?
I watched her closely, not letting my guard down.
Given the delicate situation with Debra, I knew I had to be wary of anyone who might mess up our escape plan, even if it was my own mom.
Running through possible ways out in my head, I tried to sound calm as I said, “Mom, looks like you’ve caught wind of my plan. Are you thinking of telling Dad?”
But to my surprise, Jenifer shook her head.
“No, I’m behind you if you decide to go with Debra.” She got up and came over to me. “Caleb, do what you think is best. Don’t let your dad sway you. Just give me a call to let me know you’re safe once you’ve left.”
My eyes went wide with shock.

Jenifer was always gentler than my dad but always put the pack first in everything. So, how could she be okay with my choice, which seemed so out there?
I couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, why? This doesn’t sound like you.”
Jenifer looked down, her face, usually calm and controlled, now tinted with sadness.
She let out a sigh and said, “Caleb, I think your dad has changed, losing the honesty and kindness he once had. Right now, the best thing is to get Debra out of here to save her from being executed.”
I went quiet.

Deep down, what Jenifer said was exactly what I had in mind, but I never thought she’d actually agree with me and support me in the end.
It turned out I knew less about my own mother than I thought.
In my eyes, Jenifer was always elegant and proper, setting a fine example with everything she did. Growing up, my dad was the one who looked after me most of the time. Jenifer wasn’t much involved in raising me. She mostly played peacekeeper whenever my dad and I butted heads, stepping in to smooth things over whenever there was trouble.
My dad’s presence was so strong that it often felt like my mom’s light didn’t shine as brightly, making it hard for me to really get to know her when I was growing up.
“Caleb, take this. Make sure you don’t lose it.”
Jenifer handed me a key while I wasn’t paying attention.
I was caught off guard and asked, a bit unsure, “Is it the key to the prison?”
