Chapter 14: What He Costs
He was sitting on the third-floor landing when I opened the door at seven.
His back was against the wall, his knees were up, and the cut on his cheek had dried black.
Somebody had put a bandage on it that said CLAY STUDIO SAFETY FIRST.
"Hattie," I said.
"She came out at four with a blanket and called you a lying sack of artichokes," Zane said.
"Then she gave me toast."
"I'm not letting you in," I said.
"I know."
"You can sit there because it's a public hallway."
"That's all I asked."
He got up slowly, and from inside his wet coat he took a thick black notebook.
The cover was swollen from rain and the corners were soft as cloth.
He held it out in both hands.
"What is that?"
"Three years of what happens," he said.
"Every date I could write down."
"Who wins what, which stock goes up, which storm hits the harbor in February."
"What your roommate's sculpture sells for, and when."
"The day Regan does each thing she does."
