Chapter 17: The Wristband
"Out," Marlena told the table.
She didn't raise her voice.
Five women in white robes rose in a rustle and drifted toward the door.
The woman in the sun hat looked back at me once.
Marlena took my wrist, hard, and walked me through a frosted door.
Behind it was a treatment room with a massage table and a rack of folded towels.
She shut the door and stood with her back against it.
"Say what you came to say," she said.
"Five pounds, six ounces."
Her shoulders moved, but nothing else did.
"I don't know what that means."
"My mother has a band in a cookie tin," I said. "It says Baby Girl Calhoun. Born March fourteenth, two thousand three."
"Plenty of babies were born that night."
"Luther has mine in his wallet. Baby Girl Merriman. Three pounds, nine ounces."
I held her gaze.
