Chapter 19: The Veil
I took the chain off the door.
Hugh's mother came up the back stairs ahead of me, one gloved hand on the rail, and looked over my apartment.
The sofa. The lamp. The armchair where her son had sat with my father's grappa.
"You've put the veil in the closet," she said.
"Yes," I said.
"In its box?" she asked.
"In its box. In tissue."
"Good. Bring it."
I took the long white box off the closet shelf and laid it on the bed, and she set her own box beside it.
Hers held a comb of old pearls and a packet of pins.
"Sit," she said.
I sat on the edge of the bed, in front of the mirror on my closet door.
She stood behind me and took the veil out of its tissue.
She laid the lace over my hair, and her fingers set the comb at the crown, pinning it in with small, sure movements.
My phone was in the pocket of my apron, face in, with the recording running.
