Chapter 15: Joyce's Couch
Joyce's Buick was at the curb before the revolving door finished turning.
She had run out of the building in her cardigan, without her coat, and she leaned across and opened the passenger door.
"Get in," she said. "Do not look back at the lobby."
I got in.
We drove across the Fortieth Street Bridge without a word, and my hands lay in my lap.
Her rowhouse in Lawrenceville was narrow and brick, and every wall had a bookcase on it.
She put me on the couch under a crocheted blanket and set a mug of tea in my hands.
It was the color of a penny, and I couldn't drink it.
"I told that man on the courthouse steps," Joyce said, standing over me with her bifocals swinging, "that I'd know where he was at two in the morning."
"I didn't ask where he was at 6:41 on the sixteenth."
"Joyce, don't."
"I'm not going to say a thing against him," she said. "That would be doing your deciding for you."
"I'm going to put my feet up and read a paperback, and you can talk or not talk."
She did exactly that.
I did not talk.
At nine my phone lit up on the blanket, one text from Truman.
