Evergreen Correctional (Story #161)

This is the Solitaire Story I wrote on 8/30/26. In this one, a level-headed retirement-age woman welcomes her semi-estranged husband home from his long stint in jail. They reconnect in ways both simple and complicated and deal with the plight of their successful-but-drifting son, who faces legal problems of his own. Will the latest drama bring them closer together, or are they doomed to be the sort of disconnected family who are just in and out of jail a lot, and resentful about it? Find out here!
