He Bought My Nights in the Dark, and I Hated Him by Day novel · Chapter 7 of 24
Chapter 7: For Nils
The envelope came to the loft on the fifth of December, in the same pile as the Port's rent notice.
It had the Fishermen's Widows Fund on the corner and my mother's name on the front in a typist's capitals.
Inside was the fund's usual letter, and a second check clipped to it.
The second check was drawn on Amundsen Marine Salvage, for five thousand dollars.
A white card was folded behind it, and my mother read the card before she read anything else.
I watched her lips move.
The card said: For Nils. H. S.
Liv was sitting on the end of the bench with her boots up, eating a sandwich.
She stopped chewing.
"Mama," she said.
My mother crossed the loft to the woodstove and opened the iron door with a rag.
The fire was low and orange.
