Chapter 4 Summary: “November 1992”

Six weeks after Ray’s death, Jade is struggling to get through each day. She sets up a shrine to his memory and talks to him through it, but becomes worried about what her grief will do to Gee, so she eventually takes it down. During a visit to Linette, Linette notices how tired Jade is and suggests she get a pregnancy test. Jade considers Linette’s words and even looks at the tests when she takes Gee to the grocery store, but doesn’t get one. While Jade and Ray had wanted a child of their own, she knows she cannot afford to have another child now. Despite the child belonging to Ray, she knows the best choice would be to not have it.

Jade looks back on her relationship with Ray, recalling how she couldn’t find a sitter for Gee, so they ended up taking him on their first date. Jade felt that Ray was Gee’s father from their first meeting.

In the present, Gee asks if “daddy” had other children; he tells her that his babysitter told him Ray wasn’t his real father. Jade is furious and tells him that Ray was his father in everything but blood.
