Chapter 18: The Vote
The board met at three o'clock, behind the long glass wall on the top floor.
Eleven directors sat around the table, and Winifred sat at the head with her cane across her knees.
Tate had a seat there by right.
He took it in his charcoal suit, with a lawyer at his shoulder and his gold pen lined up beside his water glass.
Winifred had put me in a chair against the wall, near the window.
"A witness sits where she can see," she had told me.
Nolan stood.
He did not sit when he spoke to the board, and I had learned that was how he showed respect.
"I have three items," he said.
"I'll take them in order."
He laid a sealed envelope on the table and slid it to Winifred.
"The lab results from Monday morning," he said.
"Hattie asked that they go to you."
Winifred broke the seal with a thumbnail.
She read it, and her mouth moved very slightly.
"Nolan Whitaker is the biological father of all three," she said.
