I sat alone in my Lisbon apartment with the phone on speaker, listening to my mother breathe.<\/p>\n
Brent repeated himself.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou froze your credit?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom\u2019s voice shook.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I found another card.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat card?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe one from Meridian.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not another card.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has my name on it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was for the business.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t know about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou did.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou absolutely did.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom looked toward the phone, although he could not know that.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t remember approving it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause you sign things and then forget.\u201d<\/p>\n
His tone sharpened.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou always do this. Then Naomi gets involved and suddenly I\u2019m some criminal.\u201d<\/p>\n
I almost spoke.<\/p>\n
Mom surprised me.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t bring her into it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is between you and me.\u201d<\/p>\n
I closed my mouth.<\/p>\n
Brent laughed.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s literally on the phone, isn\u2019t she?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom did not answer.<\/p>\n
His footsteps came closer.<\/p>\n
\u201cGive me that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMom.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
The word sounded weak.<\/p>\n
But it was still no.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat exactly did she tell you to do?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI decided to freeze it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t even know how.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe showed me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo she decided.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI did.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have no idea what you\u2019ve done.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom\u2019s breathing quickened.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat does that mean?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe business needs credit.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen use your own.\u201d<\/p>\n
A pause.<\/p>\n
Even I felt the force of that sentence.<\/p>\n
For years, Mom had spoken as though Brent\u2019s finances and hers were one household problem.<\/p>\n
Now she had separated them.<\/p>\n
He heard it too.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know my score took a hit.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n
His voice rose.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is unbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\n
I stared at the phone.<\/p>\n
The words were familiar.<\/p>\n
He had used them with me.<\/p>\n
A phrase designed to suggest the other person had violated an obvious moral rule.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat were you going to use my credit for?\u201d Mom asked.<\/p>\n
Nothing.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrent?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why are you upset?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause you\u2019re treating me like a thief.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom did not respond.<\/p>\n
I wanted to applaud her silence.<\/p>\n
Brent continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know I\u2019ve been trying to keep this place afloat.\u201d<\/p>\n
I nearly laughed.<\/p>\n
Mom did not.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Naomi\u2019s money.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe wasn\u2019t paying enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
My eyes widened.<\/p>\n
Mom said, \u201cThree thousand dollars a month wasn\u2019t enough?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t understand expenses.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat expenses?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe business.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat isn\u2019t the house.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was supposed to make money for the house.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
His answer came immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause the market changed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom\u2019s voice trembled less now.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the trading?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you lose money?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody loses money sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow much?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy does it matter now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow much?\u201d<\/p>\n
I leaned toward the phone.<\/p>\n
Brent swore again.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t have an exact number.\u201d<\/p>\n
I closed my eyes.<\/p>\n
He had learned Mom\u2019s answer.<\/p>\n
Or perhaps she had learned it from him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow much?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe twenty.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTwenty what?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know what.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTwenty thousand?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSomething like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom made a small sound.<\/p>\n
I knew from my spreadsheet the losses were likely larger.<\/p>\n
Brent was minimizing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about the credit cards?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m handling them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI have things coming in.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat things?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDeals.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat deals?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou wouldn\u2019t understand.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom breathed in.<\/p>\n
Then:<\/p>\n
\u201cTry me.\u201d<\/p>\n
I almost smiled.<\/p>\n
For the first time, she sounded like herself before Dad died.<\/p>\n
Not confident exactly.<\/p>\n
But awake.<\/p>\n
Brent must have heard it too.<\/p>\n
His tone changed.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you remove me from the bank account?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGood.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m doing it tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
Then a chair scraped violently across the floor.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you serious?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow am I supposed to pay anything?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGet your own account.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI do have my own account.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen use it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re being manipulated.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNaomi has always hated me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat isn\u2019t true.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe loves feeling superior.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not true either.\u201d<\/p>\n
I closed my eyes.<\/p>\n
The defense was simple.<\/p>\n
Quiet.<\/p>\n
Almost inadequate.<\/p>\n
But it was the first time I had heard my mother defend me without immediately qualifying it.<\/p>\n
Brent continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe ran away to another country and left you with this mess.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom looked at the phone.<\/p>\n
Then said:<\/p>\n
\u201cShe didn\u2019t make the mess.\u201d<\/p>\n
The line went silent.<\/p>\n
My throat tightened.<\/p>\n
I had wanted those words for months.<\/p>\n
Now that I heard them, they hurt almost as much as the original betrayal.<\/p>\n
Because Mom had always been capable of seeing the truth.<\/p>\n
She had simply resisted it while seeing it threatened her relationship with Brent.<\/p>\n
He laughed bitterly.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo that\u2019s it? She sends you some spreadsheets and suddenly I\u2019m the enemy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSounds like it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m asking where the money went.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI told you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. You give me pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause you don\u2019t understand business.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I want the statements.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat statements?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYours.\u201d<\/p>\n
His tone changed instantly.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom swallowed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause they\u2019re mine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou used my money.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat doesn\u2019t make my accounts yours.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou transferred money from my account into them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWith permission.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot always.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cProve it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The sentence frightened me.<\/p>\n
Not because he shouted it.<\/p>\n
Because he delivered it calmly.<\/p>\n
Brent had shifted from emotional manipulation to legal positioning.<\/p>\n
He knew exactly what documentation might exist.<\/p>\n
Mom heard it too.<\/p>\n
Her voice became quieter.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you talking like that?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLike what?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLike I\u2019m suing you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re freezing credit and threatening my access because Naomi filled your head with garbage.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you open the Meridian card?\u201d<\/p>\n
He did not answer.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrent.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI submitted the application.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid I approve it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou gave me permission to handle financial things.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat isn\u2019t permission to open cards.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is if it\u2019s for household purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou benefited from the business.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou lived here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom laughed once.<\/p>\n
It startled all of us.<\/p>\n
\u201cI own the house.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brent went quiet.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t get to tell me living in my own house is a benefit from your company.\u201d<\/p>\n
He swore again.<\/p>\n
Then his footsteps moved away.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere are you going?\u201d Mom asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cOut.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re not finished.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI am.\u201d<\/p>\n
A door slammed.<\/p>\n
Mom said my name almost immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m here.\u201d<\/p>\n
She began crying.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou heard him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI did.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t know he would talk to me like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
I stared at nothing.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, you did.\u201d<\/p>\n
She went quiet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not saying it to hurt you. You were afraid he\u2019d get angry. That\u2019s why you didn\u2019t want to freeze the credit.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought he\u2019d calm down.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe might.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t think so.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
She sniffed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do I do?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTomorrow, remove him from the checking account.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI will.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOpen a new account at a different bank.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy different?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo he cannot walk into a branch where someone knows him and talk his way into information.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou really think he\u2019d do that?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think you should stop planning based on what you hope he won\u2019t do.\u201d<\/p>\n
She was quiet.<\/p>\n
I continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I want you to check your credit report again.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI already did.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCheck every inquiry.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat am I looking for?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnything recent.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
I hesitated.<\/p>\n
Because Brent\u2019s reaction to the credit freeze had bothered me.<\/p>\n
If he only cared about existing accounts, removing his access would have been the bigger threat.<\/p>\n
But the freeze had alarmed him immediately.<\/p>\n
That suggested he had expected to use Mom\u2019s credit again.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he was applying for something.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom inhaled.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll look.\u201d<\/p>\n
We disconnected after agreeing she would call me the next morning.<\/p>\n
I slept badly.<\/p>\n
At 5:40 a.m. Lisbon time, my phone rang.<\/p>\n
Mom.<\/p>\n
I answered immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are inquiries.\u201d<\/p>\n
I sat up.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow many?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThree.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOne last week. Two earlier this month.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom whom?\u201d<\/p>\n
She read the names.<\/p>\n
Two consumer lenders.<\/p>\n
One bank.<\/p>\n
My pulse quickened.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you recognize them?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAny new accounts?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYet?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe report says one lender hasn\u2019t reported anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, I think Brent was trying to get another loan.\u201d<\/p>\n
She whispered, \u201cUsing me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do I do?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCall every lender.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what to say.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTell them you did not authorize any recent applications. Ask whether an account was opened. If there was, dispute it immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n
She sounded overwhelmed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t do all this.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m tired.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy would he do this?\u201d<\/p>\n
I did not answer.<\/p>\n
Because the answer was painful.<\/p>\n
Money.<\/p>\n
Desperation.<\/p>\n
Entitlement.<\/p>\n
Maybe all three.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll stay on the phone.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the next two hours, I listened while Mom called customer-service lines.<\/p>\n
Two inquiries had been declined.<\/p>\n
The third lender had approved a personal loan.<\/p>\n
Twenty-five thousand dollars.<\/p>\n
The funds had not yet been released.<\/p>\n
Mom\u2019s voice shook as she asked the representative where they were supposed to go.<\/p>\n
There was a pause.<\/p>\n
Then she wrote something down.<\/p>\n
I heard the pen scratching.<\/p>\n
\u201cCould you repeat the account name?\u201d<\/p>\n
Another pause.<\/p>\n
Mom looked at the phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
She ended the call.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
Her voice was barely audible.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe deposit account.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s B.K. Ventures.\u201d<\/p>\n
I closed my eyes.<\/p>\n
Brent had tried to borrow twenty-five thousand dollars under his mother\u2019s credit profile and route the money directly into his company.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you authorize the loan?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen cancel it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI did.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGood.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re opening a fraud investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s also good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her breathing became uneven.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happens now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey may contact him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019ll know I reported it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI need to talk to him first.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s my son.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, do not warn him about a fraud investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n
She went quiet.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause if he has documents, messages, or records, he might delete them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou think he\u2019d do that?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he just tried to take out twenty-five thousand dollars in your name.\u201d<\/p>\n
That ended the argument.<\/p>\n
By noon Ohio time, Mom had changed her banking passwords.<\/p>\n
By one, she had removed Brent as an authorized user.<\/p>\n
By two, she had opened a separate account at a different bank.<\/p>\n
At three-thirty, he discovered it.<\/p>\n
I knew because he called me.<\/p>\n
My old phone rang while I was leaving a client meeting.<\/p>\n
BRENT.<\/p>\n
I stared at the screen.<\/p>\n
Then answered.<\/p>\n
\u201cHello.\u201d<\/p>\n
His voice was cold.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou think you\u2019re smart.\u201d<\/p>\n
I continued walking toward an empty conference room.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Mom finally looked at her accounts.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou had no right.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNeither did you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have no idea what you\u2019re interfering with.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know about the twenty-five-thousand-dollar loan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
Then:<\/p>\n
\u201cShe approved that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe says she didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe forgets things.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat argument won\u2019t work well with the lender.\u201d<\/p>\n
His voice sharpened.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou reported me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMom did.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou made her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t lie.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI explained her options. She made the call.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve always done this.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDone what?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTurn her against me.\u201d<\/p>\n
I closed the conference-room door.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrent, I moved to another continent because Mom chose your side.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said nothing.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou didn\u2019t need my help turning anyone against you. You managed that yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you know what happens if this business fails?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe lose everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe house.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s Mom\u2019s house.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are guarantees.\u201d<\/p>\n
I went still.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat guarantees?\u201d<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrent.\u201d<\/p>\n
He breathed heavily into the phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did you guarantee?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou just said there are guarantees.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cForget it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you pledge the house against business debt?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen what?\u201d<\/p>\n
He disconnected.<\/p>\n
I stood alone in the conference room, staring at the phone.<\/p>\n
My heart had begun beating faster.<\/p>\n
Brent had revealed something by accident.<\/p>\n
There were guarantees.<\/p>\n
Plural.<\/p>\n

Breach of contract.<\/p>\n
Damages claimed: eighty-four thousand dollars.<\/p>\n
I stared at the figure.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit existed before I left Ohio.<\/p>\n
Before the suitcase.<\/p>\n
Before Brent called me a parasite.<\/p>\n
And when I opened the complaint, one allegation changed my understanding of everything.<\/p>\n
The supplier claimed Brent had submitted financial statements showing access to substantial household assets.<\/p>\n
Including the value of Mom\u2019s home.<\/p>\n
I sat alone in my Lisbon apartment with the phone on speaker, listening to my mother breathe. Brent repeated himself. \u201cYou froze your credit?\u201d \u201cYes.\u201d \u201cWhy?\u201d Mom\u2019s voice shook. \u201cBecause … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9313,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feel-every-story"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9320"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9320\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9355,"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9320\/revisions\/9355"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
