Geneva finally opens up to Darren and tells of the day Michael Wright came into the café with the guitar. She says he reminded her of her son immediately. Michael came in around five o’clock carrying the guitar. Geneva asked if he played before taking his order for a catfish plate and a beer. He said no, and Geneva noticed his wedding ring and his Illinois license plate. Michael does not fit in in the small town. Geneva asked him why he was carrying a guitar if he did not play it, and Michael revealed that it belonged to Joe. Geneva opens the case to touch the instrument. Michael related the story of Booker Wright and his uncle to a stunned Geneva. Michael apologized that it took him so long to return it. Though their parting of ways drove a wedge through their friendship, Booker still loved and cared for Joe. Michael ate his dinner while Geneva mounted the guitar on the wall. The two chatted about Michael’s personal life, parts of which resonated with Geneva’s own story. Michael left the café to grab a drink at the icehouse despite Geneva’s warnings. As he left, he asked Geneva if she and Joe had children.
