Chapter 15: Lorna
Lorna wore a white wool coat and carried her phone.
"I can see his location on my phone," she said. "Daddy never turned it off. You should have told him."
"Go back to the car."
"I took a taxi. It cost ninety dollars. You can add it to what you owe."
She walked out onto the dock beside me and looked at the water.
All along the cove, the neighbors were pulling their boats out for winter.
A man two docks over stood with a boat hook.
A woman on the next one was raking wet leaves off her planks.
A couple in matching fleeces carried a ladder between them across their lawn.
It was a quiet Sunday morning, and sound carried over the water in October.
"You think a blanket matters," Lorna said.
"It's mine."
"It's old wool and a dead man's handwriting. Mother has a lawyer who says a thousand things about forged estates."
