Dangerous Liaison

... hard to find you.' It was insane."

"Oh, that Ma Perkins is a right one."

"She was super pleased with herself. She has a flair for dramatics. Heart of gold though."

David tugged my hand, a silent plea for what happened next?

"Ma Perkins took control and spoke to Lily's dad on the phone. Quarter of an hour later these two black guys walk in. Clearly father and son. The younger one just grabs me in a bear hug, but he can't really speak, too emotional, and I don't know, it was weird. I don't have any memories from that time, before my grandparents took me away, but he felt so familiar."

I smiled at David. "Ben was born six weeks after me. We shared a crib, played together. Close as brothers until the day my grandparents disappeared me."

"Shit, that's so sad. Can he remember?"

"Yea, but he grew up with photos and grainy video and the family's frequent attempts to find me. Private investigators and such."

"Seriously?"

"Uh huh. When he lets me go. Lily and Ben's dad. My Uncle Tay. He just cups my face and looks at me. 'You've got Lee's eyes,' he said. 'You've got my brother's eyes.' And we're both crying. I can't talk. AT ALL! He asked me, 'Where were you?' but I just couldn't speak. I ended up sobbing all over him as Drew gave them a quick rundown. Nineteen years in five fast minutes, Drew-style.

She had a lot of, I guess you might call it backwards racism. People asking her why her parents were allowed to adopt a white kid, or she's got it easy because she's white. Really intrusive hurtful questions."

"Is she okay?"

"We've talked a lot about it over the years. When I met her she was only seventeen and things were hard, she was struggling. But she's grown into an amazing women. She lectures, and specializes in unconscious racial bias. She talks about her experiences and mine. Really pushes people to look at how they view the world, but she's also really kind. She doesn't expect anyone not to think or have unconscious racial bias, she just wants people to be aware of it and more aware of things they do or say."

David pursed his lips. "I would say I'm as guilty of that as anyone else."

"We all are. What Lily teaches is not to judge yourself, or others, but to be more aware of it."

He looked at me, ready for the rest of my story.

"The five of us drove to my Grammy and Pops house. Uncle Tay and Lily went in to try and lessen the shock a bit. Ben was filling me in, how close we were as babies. How Lily was ...
