Chapter 23: The Porch
I held the note under the porch light.
Rem read it over my shoulder, dripping on the boards.
"Your own people," he said.
"My own people signed a contract last spring for a woman who called me her friend."
"Can you break it?"
"Probably. With lawyers and a month in the papers." I folded the note back into the envelope. "Then Liza cries on camera about the heiress who stole her wedding."
"So we go."
"We go. We sit up front. We bring a nice gift."
"What's a nice gift for that?"
"A receipt for three million dollars."
He laughed, took the envelope out of my hand, and dropped it face down on the hall table.
We slept in his room that night, across the hall from mine.
We were too tired to do anything but sleep.
He fell asleep with one rope-burned hand open on my stomach.
Sunday my grandfather summoned us to Bainbridge.
His text said: Bring him. I want to look at him in good light.
Rem drove the Land Rover onto my own ferry and sat in it on the car deck.
