Chapter 14: The File
I sat up in his bed with the sheet pulled to my collarbone and held out my hand.
He didn't give me the folder.
He opened it on his knee instead and read from it, in the voice he used for quarterly numbers.
"Page three. SUSPECT: R. GARVEY."
"Rowan."
"MOTIVE: control of the board, and a terminal that moves money nobody will explain.
"MEANS: everything he owns. OPPORTUNITY: everything he owns."
He turned the page toward me so I could see my own capitals, with the open-topped fours.
At the bottom, underlined twice:
"Marry him," Rowan read.
"That was before I knew you."
"It was a Tuesday in September. You wrote the date."
"Rowan, I was investigating a man who might have drowned my partner."
"I know what you were doing." He closed the folder, and his hands were perfectly steady. "You were thorough.
"You got my mother's maiden name wrong, but you were thorough."
I hadn't expected him to be calm.
I had been ready for shouting. I had a full speech, built in the bathroom over a week of nights.
