Chapter 13: Forty-Eight Hours

My phone rang before I reached the bookstore doorway.

It was a number from Back Bay that I hadn't seen in a year.

"Hallie, dear?" said a thin, steady voice. "It's the old woman across the street, from number forty-one."

"I'm sorry to bother you. There are men carrying your grandmother's piano out of her front door."

The sidewalk tilted under me.

"Is Lawson there?"

"He's standing on the steps with a coffee, supervising."

I looked up at Ephraim.

He had heard every word.

"Marlborough Street," I said. "Now."

"The car is around the corner," he said, and for once he didn't explain whose car.

A gray sedan with a quiet driver took us across the Public Garden.

I kept my hands flat on my knees the whole way.

"I'm going to ask you something hard," I said.

"Ask."

"Don't fix it. Stand behind me and let me do it."

His jaw worked.

"Behind you," he said.

"Behind me."
