Chapter 21: Chapter 21
At six that morning, a gray-haired man stood at Roan's kitchen island in his undershirt, frying eggs.
He turned around when we came in, spatula in hand, and looked at me over his glasses.
"So you're the memo," he said.
"Dad," Roan said.
"I'm not saying anything. I'm cooking."
"I'm Selah," I said, and held out my hand.
He wiped his on a dish towel and shook it, hard.
He was sixty-eight years old and built like his son, with the same dry mouth and a limp he did not mention.
"Sit," he said. "You look like you haven't eaten since Tuesday."
"Thursday," I said.
"It shows."
I sat.
Roan took the stool beside me, and I felt his thigh settle against mine under the counter.
The eggs came with toast and a pile of potatoes, and I ate every bite.
"He says you ran a freight company for four years and nobody knew your face," the old man said.
"It sounds worse out loud."
"It sounds like my wife's cousin who ran a numbers bank and went to Mass every day."
He pointed the spatula at me.
"I like it."
Roan put his face in his hand.
"Dad."
"What? I'm complimenting her."
