The first court proceedings began weeks later.<\/p>\n
Not a single grand trial.<\/p>\n
Reality was messier.<\/p>\n
Different jurisdictions.<\/p>\n
Different defendants.<\/p>\n
State charges.<\/p>\n
Federal charges.<\/p>\n
Financial crimes.<\/p>\n
Environmental offenses.<\/p>\n
Obstruction.<\/p>\n
Conspiracy allegations.<\/p>\n
Homicide-related proceedings.<\/p>\n
Old cases reopened.<\/p>\n
New grand juries.<\/p>\n
Lawyers arguing over admissibility, cooperation agreements, competency, and evidence collected across decades.<\/p>\n
The story no longer moved at the speed of discovery.<\/p>\n
It moved at the speed of institutions.<\/p>\n
Dad hated that.<\/p>\n
\u201cThree years they hide it. Now everyone needs extensions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wren told him that due process was supposed to be slower than a cover-up.<\/p>\n
Dad grudgingly accepted the point.<\/p>\n
Thomas Calder\u2019s medical condition required extensive evaluation.<\/p>\n
Investigators separated acts supported by evidence from periods where his cognitive capacity was uncertain.<\/p>\n
Nobody used illness to rewrite history.<\/p>\n
Nobody used history to pretend present capacity did not matter.<\/p>\n
Evan remained in custody while prosecutors pursued charges supported by the financial archive, witness testimony, threats, obstruction evidence, illegal dumping records, and other conduct.<\/p>\n
His attorneys attacked Leah\u2019s credibility.<\/p>\n
Marissa\u2019s motives.<\/p>\n
Mallory\u2019s cooperation.<\/p>\n
Mom\u2019s recordings.<\/p>\n
Grant\u2019s statements.<\/p>\n
That was their job.<\/p>\n
The evidence had to survive challenge.<\/p>\n
Mallory\u2019s cooperation became controversial immediately.<\/p>\n
He wanted reduced exposure in exchange for decades of information.<\/p>\n
Dad read the news coverage and threw the paper down.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe helped leave Eleanor without an ambulance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mercer sat across from him in the kitchen.<\/p>\n
We were back at Dad\u2019s house by then.<\/p>\n
Not because it felt normal.<\/p>\n
Because he wanted to reclaim it.<\/p>\n
Mercer said, \u201cProsecutors will decide what agreement, if any, is appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo I get a vote?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGood system.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not designed around satisfying victims.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad looked toward Mom\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. I\u2019m learning that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harold entered a plea on several admitted offenses while other matters remained pending.<\/p>\n
His cooperation exposed additional financial records.<\/p>\n
Henry\u2019s false death investigation advanced after DNA testing identified the remains buried under Henry Pike\u2019s name as Calvin Rhodes.<\/p>\n
Calvin\u2019s family finally received confirmation of what happened.<\/p>\n
Thirty years late.<\/p>\n
Still confirmation.<\/p>\n
Henry faced renewed investigation for Calvin\u2019s death alongside newer alleged offenses.<\/p>\n
Shaw\u2019s records tied him to suppressed complaints, intimidation, and corrupt payments.<\/p>\n
Diane\u2019s medical conduct underwent review beyond our case.<\/p>\n
Amanda resigned as district clerk before she could be removed.<\/p>\n
She faced criminal proceedings of her own.<\/p>\n
Mercer never asked anyone to spare her because they were sisters.<\/p>\n
She also never pretended Amanda meant nothing to her.<\/p>\n
Those two facts could coexist.<\/p>\n
Vanessa\u2019s case was complicated by cooperation and documented coercion.<\/p>\n
She admitted theft.<\/p>\n
Forgery-related conduct.<\/p>\n
Evidence concealment.<\/p>\n
Lying.<\/p>\n
Participation in Mom\u2019s death-night cover-up.<\/p>\n
She also provided records, protected journals, eventually sought Turner, and had been threatened through Claire.<\/p>\n
The court would weigh those facts.<\/p>\n
Dad refused to ask for either maximum punishment or special mercy.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe made choices,\u201d he said. \u201cLet the court deal with the choices.\u201d<\/p>\n
Claire returned home once authorities believed the immediate threat had diminished.<\/p>\n
She visited Dad first.<\/p>\n
Not Vanessa.<\/p>\n
Dad hugged her for a long time.<\/p>\n
Then made pancakes.<\/p>\n
He burned the first batch.<\/p>\n
Some things survived criminal conspiracies unchanged.<\/p>\n
Claire asked whether she should visit her mother.<\/p>\n
Dad said, \u201cThat\u2019s yours.\u201d<\/p>\n
She looked surprised.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t have an opinion?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI have several. None of them are your decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
I smiled.<\/p>\n
Dad noticed.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour mother would be proud.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019d say you finally learned.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leah Turner began working openly with investigators.<\/p>\n
Michael stopped trying to persuade her to leave journalism.<\/p>\n
She stopped pretending she did not understand why he had tried.<\/p>\n
Their relationship remained complicated.<\/p>\n
Alive was enough for now.<\/p>\n
Rebecca Sloan returned to testify about Lucas.<\/p>\n
She was older.<\/p>\n
Still nervous.<\/p>\n
Before entering the courthouse, she asked whether Grant could see her.<\/p>\n
Mercer told her he would not be permitted near her outside controlled proceedings.<\/p>\n
Rebecca nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve imagined this for four years.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSaying his name where someone would write it down.\u201d<\/p>\n
She did.<\/p>\n
Lucas Bell stopped being a paragraph in an overdose report.<\/p>\n
His mother attended.<\/p>\n
The quarry video was authenticated.<\/p>\n
Diane\u2019s records were examined.<\/p>\n
Shaw\u2019s threat to Rebecca was corroborated.<\/p>\n
Grant\u2019s statement was considered with the rest.<\/p>\n
No single witness had to carry Lucas alone.<\/p>\n
Peter Lawson\u2019s widow provided his note.<\/p>\n
His pharmacy records survived.<\/p>\n
Mom\u2019s files supported them.<\/p>\n
Diane\u2019s testimony supported portions.<\/p>\n
Mallory\u2019s recordings added more.<\/p>\n
Again, overlap.<\/p>\n
Again, no single fragile thread.<\/p>\n
Daniel Reeves\u2019s remains were formally identified.<\/p>\n
His environmental evidence became part of the federal case.<\/p>\n
His family received him back.<\/p>\n
There was no way to call that closure without insulting the years they lost.<\/p>\n
So nobody in our family did.<\/p>\n
The most difficult proceeding for Dad involved Grant.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors asked whether he wished to provide a victim-impact statement at the appropriate stage.<\/p>\n
Dad said no.<\/p>\n
Then changed his mind.<\/p>\n
Then said no again.<\/p>\n
For three nights, he slept badly.<\/p>\n
I found him at the kitchen table before dawn on the fourth morning.<\/p>\n
No bacon.<\/p>\n
Just coffee.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re writing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
A yellow legal pad sat in front of him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI keep writing the wrong thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the wrong thing?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat people want.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhich people?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
He pushed the pad toward me.<\/p>\n
One version described Grant as a monster.<\/p>\n
Dad had crossed it out.<\/p>\n
Another described the frightened boy he raised.<\/p>\n
Crossed out.<\/p>\n
Another blamed Harold, Mallory, Evan, Vanessa, Diane.<\/p>\n
Crossed out.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you actually want to say?\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad stared into his coffee.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat Grant is my son.\u201d<\/p>\n
I waited.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd he killed my wife.\u201d<\/p>\n
There it was.<\/p>\n
The sentence nobody wanted because it refused simplification.<\/p>\n
Dad continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I say he\u2019s a monster, I get to pretend I didn\u2019t know him for forty years.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I say he was manipulated, I make Eleanor pay for my need to still love him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I say he stopped being my son when he did it, then I\u2019m proving the fear they used against him was right.\u201d<\/p>\n
I sat down.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if none of those are required?\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad looked at me.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe can be your son and responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen write that.\u201d<\/p>\n
He did.<\/p>\n
The statement took two pages.<\/p>\n
No adjectives about evil.<\/p>\n
No demand for revenge.<\/p>\n
No plea for leniency.<\/p>\n
Dad described Grant as the boy who broke his arm falling from a maple tree at nine.<\/p>\n
The teenager who once drove through a snowstorm to bring Vanessa home.<\/p>\n
The young man Dad taught to change oil.<\/p>\n
The adult who lied.<\/p>\n
Stole.<\/p>\n
Threatened.<\/p>\n
Helped conceal Lucas\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
Injected his mother.<\/p>\n
Delayed help.<\/p>\n
Participated in covering her death.<\/p>\n
Dad wrote:<\/p>\n
I loved my son before he did these things. I loved him while he was hiding them. I know now what he did, and the knowledge does not magically erase love. It also does not erase responsibility.<\/p>\n
I stopped reading.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad nodded.<\/p>\n
He added:<\/p>\n
I do not ask the court to punish him because I hate him. I ask the court to see what he actually chose, without pretending either that he was born monstrous or that other people\u2019s manipulation made his choices disappear.<\/p>\n
Then:<\/p>\n
Eleanor deserved more time. Whatever sentence the law imposes, nothing gives her that time back.<\/p>\n
Dad put down the pen.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was.<\/p>\n
When the statement was eventually delivered in the appropriate proceeding, Grant cried.<\/p>\n
Dad did not look away.<\/p>\n
Grant\u2019s attorneys had negotiated around his cooperation, but the most serious conduct could not be negotiated into innocence.<\/p>\n
He formally admitted his role in Mom\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
The exact legal resolution remained subject to the court.<\/p>\n
But he stopped contesting the central fact.<\/p>\n
He had injected her.<\/p>\n
Afterward, Dad was surrounded by reporters outside the courthouse.<\/p>\n
Mercer\u2019s deputies tried to move him through.<\/p>\n
One reporter shouted, \u201cMr. Cole, do you forgive your son?\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad stopped.<\/p>\n
I wished he hadn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Cameras turned.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cThat\u2019s a family question, not a headline.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then kept walking.<\/p>\n
Another reporter asked whether he blamed Harold.<\/p>\n
Dad ignored it.<\/p>\n
Another asked whether Eleanor would be satisfied.<\/p>\n
Dad stopped again.<\/p>\n
This time his face hardened.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t tell me what my wife would feel.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nobody asked twice.<\/p>\n
At home, he removed his jacket and hung it on the chair Mom used to complain about.<\/p>\n
I moved it.<\/p>\n
Dad frowned.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe hated jackets on that chair.\u201d<\/p>\n
He stared.<\/p>\n
Then laughed.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight.\u201d<\/p>\n
We ate dinner.<\/p>\n
Nothing special.<\/p>\n
Soup.<\/p>\n
Bread.<\/p>\n
Dad complained the soup needed salt.<\/p>\n
I told him his blood pressure did not.<\/p>\n
He accused me of becoming Mom.<\/p>\n
For once, that sounded good.<\/p>\n
Later, Wren came over with the final accounting of Dad\u2019s recovered assets.<\/p>\n
The numbers were substantial.<\/p>\n
The 1.8 million reserve remained protected.<\/p>\n
Additional nominee interests were being untangled.<\/p>\n
Some assets might be subject to litigation because criminal and legitimate funds had mixed.<\/p>\n
Dad did not care about the total.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happens to Calder shares?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEventually? That depends on corporate proceedings and court orders.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou may not be able to simply abandon them without consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad sighed.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoney is annoyingly complicated.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou spent forty years refusing to learn that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI outsourced it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTo Harold.\u201d<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
Then Dad said, \u201cFair.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wren also brought Mom\u2019s personal effects released from evidence.<\/p>\n
Not everything.<\/p>\n
Some items still mattered to ongoing cases.<\/p>\n
But her letters could come home.<\/p>\n
The blue file.<\/p>\n
Copies of photographs.<\/p>\n
Her recorded message.<\/p>\n
Dad placed them in the dining room.<\/p>\n
Not hidden.<\/p>\n
That was deliberate.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo more walls,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
No false bottoms.<\/p>\n
No secret compartments.<\/p>\n
No evidence inside children\u2019s books.<\/p>\n
The truth could sit on a shelf.<\/p>\n
Vanessa wrote Dad from custody.<\/p>\n
He left the letter unopened for three days.<\/p>\n
Then read it.<\/p>\n
He did not show me.<\/p>\n
I did not ask.<\/p>\n
On the fourth day, he wrote back.<\/p>\n
One page.<\/p>\n
He sealed it before I entered the room.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you forgiving her?\u201d<\/p>\n
He looked at me.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat question is getting annoying.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNow you know how reporters feel.\u201d<\/p>\n
He smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m talking to my daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s different?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has to start somewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
He mailed the letter.<\/p>\n
Claire eventually visited Vanessa.<\/p>\n
She came back quiet.<\/p>\n
Dad did not ask what they discussed.<\/p>\n
Neither did I.<\/p>\n
Some truths belonged to the people living them.<\/p>\n
Weeks became months.<\/p>\n
The investigations widened beyond our family.<\/p>\n
Officials resigned.<\/p>\n
Contractors were scrutinized.<\/p>\n
Some allegations were substantiated.<\/p>\n
Others were not.<\/p>\n
Mercer repeatedly reminded reporters that appearing in Calder\u2019s records did not establish criminal conduct.<\/p>\n
That mattered.<\/p>\n
The network had already destroyed enough people through implication.<\/p>\n
The investigation did not need to imitate it.<\/p>\n
One afternoon, Mercer came to Dad\u2019s house without a file.<\/p>\n
That was unusual.<\/p>\n
Dad poured coffee.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why are you here?\u201d<\/p>\n
She looked toward me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to tell you before it becomes public.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mallory\u2019s cooperation had produced the location of Thomas Calder\u2019s oldest private archive.<\/p>\n
Federal agents recovered it.<\/p>\n
Inside were records dating to the beginning of the network.<\/p>\n
Among them was the original highway-property transaction that first entangled Harold and Dad\u2019s investments.<\/p>\n
The records proved Dad had not knowingly participated.<\/p>\n
Harold concealed the true sale value.<\/p>\n
Mallory facilitated inside information.<\/p>\n
Thomas Calder benefited.<\/p>\n
Dad\u2019s name appeared only as the owner Harold deliberately kept uninformed.<\/p>\n
Dad sat quietly.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo Eleanor was right.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy money started it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mercer shook her head.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour asset was used.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad looked at her.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat distinction again.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
He nodded.<\/p>\n
This time he accepted it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happens now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe cases continue.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. I mean to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mercer glanced toward me.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat part isn\u2019t my department.\u201d<\/p>\n
After she left, Dad stood on the back porch.<\/p>\n
The yard looked ordinary.<\/p>\n
Mom\u2019s garden had gone wild during the weeks nobody tended it.<\/p>\n
Tomato cages leaned sideways.<\/p>\n
Rosemary had swallowed part of the path.<\/p>\n
Dad pointed.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour mother would haunt me over that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019d haunt you over the weeds first.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m old. Priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n
We began pulling weeds.<\/p>\n
Not symbolically.<\/p>\n
They were simply weeds.<\/p>\n
My hands got dirty.<\/p>\n
Dad complained about his knees.<\/p>\n
The sun went down.<\/p>\n
For nearly an hour, nobody mentioned Mallory, Grant, Harold, Evan, or evidence.<\/p>\n
Then Dad found something beneath the rosemary.<\/p>\n
A small ceramic marker.<\/p>\n
Mom had painted it years ago.<\/p>\n
LET THINGS GROW.<\/p>\n
Dad brushed dirt from the letters.<\/p>\n
He looked at me.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo not turn this into a metaphor.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t going to.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou were.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe a little.\u201d<\/p>\n
He put the marker back.<\/p>\n
That night, another letter arrived.<\/p>\n
Not from Vanessa.<\/p>\n
Not from Grant.<\/p>\n
The return address belonged to the federal detention facility holding Evan Calder.<\/p>\n
Dad stared at it.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe wrote to you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
My name was on the front.<\/p>\n
Natalie Cole.<\/p>\n
Mercer advised me not to respond without counsel and investigators reviewing the letter.<\/p>\n
They opened it under protocol.<\/p>\n
Evan had written only four sentences.<\/p>\n
Your mother understood the system better than anyone.<\/p>\n
She also misunderstood one thing.<\/p>\n
She believed I was afraid of the evidence.<\/p>\n
Ask yourself why I let Marissa keep the mill servers.<\/p>\n
I read it twice.<\/p>\n
Dad frowned.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s trying to get inside your head.\u201d<\/p>\n
Probably.<\/p>\n
But the question had an evidentiary answer.<\/p>\n
Why had Evan allowed Marissa to preserve records that could destroy him?<\/p>\n
Marissa claimed she kept them as insurance.<\/p>\n
Maybe Evan did not know.<\/p>\n
Or maybe he did.<\/p>\n
Mercer ordered no assumptions.<\/p>\n
Investigators checked.<\/p>\n
On the mill servers, they found a permissions record.<\/p>\n
Evan had personally disabled Marissa\u2019s ability to permanently delete the archive six months earlier.<\/p>\n
He had preserved it.<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
The answer sat in another access log.<\/p>\n
Evan had created a hidden duplicate.<\/p>\n
Not for Calder.<\/p>\n
For an outside destination.<\/p>\n
The upload had been scheduled before his arrest.<\/p>\n
It never completed because federal agents cut the network.<\/p>\n
The destination was a secure repository belonging to an investigative law firm.<\/p>\n
Attached note:<\/p>\n
Release if Thomas Calder dies or if I am detained.<\/p>\n
Dad stared.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was building his own insurance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yes.<\/p>\n
Evan had planned for the network to collapse too.<\/p>\n
Not out of conscience.<\/p>\n
Self-preservation.<\/p>\n
But his archive contained something Marissa\u2019s did not.<\/p>\n
A folder labeled ELEANOR \u2014 UNRESOLVED.<\/p>\n
Inside was a scanned document dated two days before Mom died.<\/p>\n
Her handwriting.<\/p>\n
A short note.<\/p>\n
Thomas Calder requested meeting. I declined.<\/p>\n
Below it:<\/p>\n
Evan says he can help me bring Robert down. I do not trust him.<\/p>\n
I stared.<\/p>\n
Evan had approached Mom.<\/p>\n
Before she died.<\/p>\n
He had offered to help expose Mallory.<\/p>\n
Not because he wanted justice.<\/p>\n
Because he wanted Mallory removed.<\/p>\n
Mom recognized that.<\/p>\n
The next document was Evan\u2019s message to her.<\/p>\n
Robert is the weak link. Give me what you have on him and I can make sure Frank is protected.<\/p>\n
Mom\u2019s response:<\/p>\n
You are asking me to trade one blackmailer for another.<\/p>\n
No answer followed.<\/p>\n
Dad looked toward me.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe refused him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
That explained Evan\u2019s strange mixture of admiration and hostility toward her.<\/p>\n
Mom had seen exactly what he was offering.<\/p>\n
A place inside the same system.<\/p>\n
Protection in exchange for cooperation.<\/p>\n
She refused.<\/p>\n
The final file contained Evan\u2019s private note written after her death.<\/p>\n
Eleanor would not bargain. Grant solved the immediate problem and created a permanent one.<\/p>\n
Then:<\/p>\n
Natalie likely same temperament. Do not approach directly.<\/p>\n
I read it once.<\/p>\n
Then closed the file.<\/p>\n
Dad asked, \u201cWhat do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat he\u2019s still trying to make himself important.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad smiled faintly.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour mother would approve.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mercer agreed.<\/p>\n
Evan\u2019s archive mattered as evidence.<\/p>\n
His letter did not earn him control over what the evidence meant.<\/p>\n
That evening I placed his four sentences in the evidence envelope and stopped thinking about them.<\/p>\n
At least I tried.<\/p>\n
Because one thing had changed.<\/p>\n
For weeks, every discovery forced us toward another hidden compartment.<\/p>\n
Another threat.<\/p>\n
Another missing person.<\/p>\n
Another lie.<\/p>\n
Now the discoveries increasingly explained the past instead of creating new danger.<\/p>\n
The direction had reversed.<\/p>\n
We were no longer running behind the secret.<\/p>\n
The secret was running out of places to hide.<\/p>\n
The first court proceedings began weeks later. Not a single grand trial. Reality was messier. Different jurisdictions. Different defendants. State charges. Federal charges. Financial crimes. Environmental offenses. Obstruction. Conspiracy allegations. … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3124,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feel-one-story"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3148"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3148\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3175,"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3148\/revisions\/3175"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
