<\/p>\nThe words landed heavily. I thought of our Easter card. You’ve always been able to take care of yourselves. Families were apparently talented at pretending many things. Opal continued. \u201cWalter was seven years younger than me. Clever boy. Restless. Charming when he wanted something. He could take apart a radio and put it back together before he was twelve.\u201d She smiled faintly at the memory. \u201cHe also had a terrible temper.\u201d \u201cWhat happened?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cOur father died in 1959. Heart attack. My mother stayed here with Walter for several years. By then I was already married.\u201d \u201cTo Grandpa Samuel?\u201d \u201cYes.\u201d Samuel had died long before I met Nate. I knew him only from photographs. He had been a serious-looking man with broad shoulders and a habit of wearing suspenders. \u201cWhen Mother died,\u201d Opal continued, \u201cthe property went equally to Walter and me.\u201d Nate frowned.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo half the house was yours.\u201d \u201cYes.\u201d \u201cAnd the other half belonged to Walter.\u201d \u201cYes.\u201d \u201cWhat happened to it?\u201d Opal looked toward the window. \u201cWalter needed money.\u201d There it was again. Money. \u201cHe had started several businesses,\u201d she said. \u201cSome legitimate. Some less so. He borrowed against his portion of the property. Then he borrowed from people he shouldn\u2019t have.\u201d \u201cWhat kind of people?\u201d Nate asked. \u201cThe kind that don\u2019t send polite letters.\u201d Nate exhaled. Opal went on.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was raising children by then. Ronald was fourteen. Your Aunt Linda was eleven.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ron had a sister.<\/p>\n
That part I knew.<\/p>\n
Linda had moved to Arizona years ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cWalter came to me one night,\u201d Opal said. \u201cHe said he needed me to sign my half of the property over to him temporarily. He swore he had a buyer for some equipment and would repay everything within six months.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
A tiny smile appeared.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t quite that foolish.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did you do?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI told him I would buy his half.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate raised his eyebrows.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith what money?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery dollar Samuel and I had.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her expression softened when she said her husband\u2019s name.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe took out a loan. Sold forty acres Samuel had inherited. I bought Walter out and cleared his debt against the property.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you owned the whole Miller house.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen how did it end up abandoned?\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal\u2019s face changed.<\/p>\n
For the first time since she had started speaking, she looked ashamed.<\/p>\n
Not guilty.<\/p>\n
Ashamed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI trusted my son.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate stopped breathing for a second.<\/p>\n
I felt it.<\/p>\n
So did Opal.<\/p>\n
She looked directly at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cRonald.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate\u2019s voice dropped.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did he do?\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal turned toward the table and ran one finger across the scratched wood.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen he was twenty-eight, Ronald came to Samuel and me with a business idea. Farm equipment. Used machinery. Repairs. Resale. He said he needed collateral for a loan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate\u2019s father had owned an agricultural equipment dealership for almost thirty years.<\/p>\n
It had done well.<\/p>\n
Very well.<\/p>\n
Well enough that Judy and Ron now lived in a four-bedroom house on twelve acres.<\/p>\n
Well enough to hand three children $20,000 each at Easter.<\/p>\n
Opal said, \u201cSamuel didn\u2019t want to do it. I did.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou used this house as collateral?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate shut his eyes briefly.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow much?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cForty thousand dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n
I almost laughed from disbelief.<\/p>\n
We had bought the house for only $1,500 more than that.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat year?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n
\u201c1982.\u201d<\/p>\n
Forty thousand dollars in 1982 was serious money.<\/p>\n
Opal nodded as if she had read my thoughts.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was almost everything the property was worth.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid Dad repay it?\u201d Nate asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cEventually.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen what went wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal looked at him for several seconds.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour father lied to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate\u2019s jaw tightened.<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout what?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe loan.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said he had repaid it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe told us he had refinanced it against the business and released the house.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut he hadn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
I sat down.<\/p>\n
Opal\u2019s voice became quieter.<\/p>\n
\u201cSamuel got sick. Cancer. For nearly two years, I cared for him. We stopped paying attention to paperwork. Ronald handled everything for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
She looked at Nate.<\/p>\n
\u201cTaxes. Insurance. Banking. All of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
I already knew where this was going, and I didn\u2019t like it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Samuel died,\u201d she said, \u201cRonald told me the Miller property was becoming expensive to maintain. Nobody lived here. The roof needed repairs. He suggested selling it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou agreed?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her answer came instantly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI told him I wanted to keep it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate looked toward the dining room.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo he kept managing it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFor how long?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYears.\u201d<\/p>\n
She paused.<\/p>\n
\u201cUntil I discovered he’d transferred the deed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate stood up.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe what?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSit down.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSit.\u201d<\/p>\n
He sat.<\/p>\n
I had never seen anyone command Nate with one word.<\/p>\n
Opal could.<\/p>\n
She folded her arms.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had power of attorney while Samuel was ill. There were documents. Some I understood. Some I didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re saying Dad transferred your house to himself?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot exactly.\u201d<\/p>\n
That answer was somehow worse.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe transferred it to Miller Agricultural Holdings.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate frowned.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is that?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a company.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhose company?\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal stared at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour father\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n
The words seemed to echo in the empty kitchen.<\/p>\n
I suddenly noticed every unfinished detail around us.<\/p>\n
The open walls.<\/p>\n
The exposed wiring.<\/p>\n
The patched plaster.<\/p>\n
The dusty floor.<\/p>\n
We had spent two years scraping together every dollar we could earn.<\/p>\n
We had skipped dinners out.<\/p>\n
Nate had sold his boat.<\/p>\n
I had worked double shifts until my feet went numb.<\/p>\n
And somewhere in the history of this broken-down house, Nate\u2019s father had apparently taken it from his own mother.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened to the company?\u201d Nate asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt dissolved.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYears ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the property?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPassed through several entities.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat entities?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t remember all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate\u2019s face hardened.<\/p>\n
\u201cWere they Dad\u2019s?\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal did not answer.<\/p>\n
That was answer enough.<\/p>\n
He stood again.<\/p>\n
This time Opal didn\u2019t tell him to sit.<\/p>\n
He walked into the living room, then came back.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the hell?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNathan.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know you\u2019re angry.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAngry?\u201d<\/p>\n
He pointed toward the floor.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe stole your house.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t say that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t have to.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was legally complicated.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what people say when they don\u2019t want to use the word theft.\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal’s lips tightened.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour father was young.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was twenty-eight.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTwenty-eight feels young when you\u2019re eighty-eight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate gave a short, bitter laugh.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid he ever give it back?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen maybe we stop making excuses.\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal looked at him sharply.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not making excuses.\u201d<\/p>\n
Something in her voice silenced him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m explaining history,\u201d she said. \u201cHistory is ugly enough without improving it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate looked away.<\/p>\n
I reached across the table.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did Ron want the house to disappear?\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal was quiet.<\/p>\n
Then she said, \u201cBecause of what happened afterward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate slowly turned back.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened afterward?\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal looked toward the pantry again.<\/p>\n
\u201cI confronted him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c1996.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout the deed?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did he say?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe denied everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
She smiled without amusement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I showed him the copies I had gotten from the courthouse.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe stopped denying it.\u201d<\/p>\n
I asked, \u201cDid he give you a reason?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat was it?\u201d<\/p>\n
She took a long breath.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said he needed the property because Walter had come back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her brother.<\/p>\n
The brother no one knew existed.<\/p>\n
Nate sat again.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did Walter want?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe house.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause he claimed half of it was still his.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you bought him out.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWas it documented?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen he had no claim.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLegally, probably not.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cProbably?\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal looked tired now.<\/p>\n
Very tired.<\/p>\n
\u201cWalter claimed our father had hidden something in the house.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate and I said nothing.<\/p>\n
Opal leaned forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe believed there was money here.\u201d<\/p>\n
I nearly smiled.<\/p>\n
Not because it was funny.<\/p>\n
Because after everything she had just told us, buried treasure sounded almost ordinary.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat kind of money?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cCash.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow much?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe never knew.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did he think it existed?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur father.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about him?\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal looked at the pantry doorframe.<\/p>\n
\u201cDaddy didn\u2019t trust banks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate sighed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis keeps getting better.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring the Depression, his father lost nearly everything when a bank failed. Daddy never forgot it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo he kept cash.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the house.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSome.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow much?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one knew.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate looked around.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid anyone ever find it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid Walter search?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFor years.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Dad?\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal didn\u2019t answer immediately.<\/p>\n
That silence made my stomach tighten.<\/p>\n
\u201cNate,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n
He looked at his grandmother.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid Dad search this house?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe year after Samuel died.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did he tell you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was making repairs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate laughed bitterly.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course he was.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn’t realize what he was doing until later.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid he find anything?\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal looked at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n
And suddenly everything about our purchase felt different.<\/p>\n
We hadn\u2019t bought a ruined farmhouse.<\/p>\n
We had bought a family argument that had been waiting decades for someone to reopen the door.<\/p>\n
Nate paced through the kitchen.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you tell anybody this?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I chose not to.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDad took your property.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you just let him?\u201d<\/p>\n
That hurt her.<\/p>\n
I saw it immediately.<\/p>\n
Nate did too.<\/p>\n
His anger disappeared.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma, I\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal looked down at her hands.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou think because someone wrongs you, there is always a clean moment when you stand up and fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n
She shook her head.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes your husband is dead. Sometimes your son has three children. Sometimes lawyers cost money you don\u2019t have. Sometimes you worry about what happens if your family falls apart.\u201d<\/p>\n
She looked at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd sometimes you make the wrong choice because you\u2019re tired.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate sat again.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
He reached for her hand.<\/p>\n
She let him hold it.<\/p>\n
After a minute, I asked the question neither of them seemed to want to ask.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did the property eventually become abandoned?\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal stared at the floor.<\/p>\n
\u201cRonald sold the company that held it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTo who?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA developer.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe project failed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cForeclosure. Another sale. Another company. Another bankruptcy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo the property moved around.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did Ron feel about that?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRelieved.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause it was no longer connected to him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
I looked toward the living room.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd now we own it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
She smiled faintly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhich is why I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw your names in the legal notices.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate squeezed her hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid Dad know we were bidding?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI doubt it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe will eventually.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happens then?\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal looked at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat depends on whether he believes the house still contains anything worth finding.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate stood.<\/p>\n
He crossed to the pantry.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere did your father hide things?\u201d<\/p>\n
She smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had dozens of places.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cName one.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNathan\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cName one.\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal looked at me.<\/p>\n
I shrugged.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s not going to sleep now.\u201d<\/p>\n
She sighed.<\/p>\n
Then pointed toward the pantry floor.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere used to be a loose board in the back corner.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate disappeared into the pantry.<\/p>\n
We heard scraping.<\/p>\n
Then swearing.<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing,\u201d he called.<\/p>\n
Opal smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour father already checked that one.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate returned covered in dust.<\/p>\n
\u201cWonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe kept money inside flour tins.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGone.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes inside the stove.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOriginal stove is gone.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the attic rafters.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nate looked upward.<\/p>\n
\u201cI checked those when I rewired the upstairs.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd once inside a hollow porch post.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWas your father a farmer or a pirate?\u201d<\/p>\n
She actually laughed.<\/p>\n
It was the first time I had heard her laugh that afternoon.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was a man who didn\u2019t trust anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n
I smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cApparently with reason.\u201d<\/p>\n
Opal\u2019s laughter faded.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then she looked again at the pantry doorframe.<\/p>\n
Her expression changed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWait.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
She stood.<\/p>\n
This time she accepted my arm.<\/p>\n
She moved closer to the old wooden trim.<\/p>\n
Her fingertips searched the markings.<\/p>\n
O.M. \u2014 10.<\/p>\n
O.M. \u2014 14.<\/p>\n
O.M. \u2014 17.<\/p>\n
Then lower.<\/p>\n
W.M. \u2014 8.<\/p>\n
W.M. \u2014 11.<\/p>\n
W.M. \u2014 15.<\/p>\n
Walter Miller.<\/p>\n
Nate crouched beside her.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are more.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
His finger stopped near the bottom.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s this?\u201d<\/p>\n
The words landed heavily. I thought of our Easter card. You’ve always been able to take care of yourselves. Families were apparently talented at pretending many things.
