Chapter 34: Twelve Years
"Mr. Callicott," the judge said. "Sit down."
Micah didn't sit.
He was staring at the woman in the navy blazer.
The woman in the navy blazer had stopped halfway to the stand.
Her smile had not moved, but something behind it had gone very quiet.
"Your Honor," she said, in that warm, low voice, "I apologize to the court. I believe the gentleman has mistaken me for someone else."
"Jackie," Micah said.
It was a name I had never heard him say.
Her eyes flicked to him, and for one half second she looked at him like a stranger at a bus stop.
"I'm sorry. I don't believe we've met."
"Sit down, sir, or leave," the judge said sharply. "Counsel, do you intend to cross-examine this witness?"
Jacqueline Boutwell looked at me.
She looked at my belly, and at my face, and at Micah on his feet.
"No questions at this time, Your Honor."
The judge looked at her over her glasses.
"Then the court will take the mother's petition under advisement. Supervised visitation continues as ordered. We're adjourned."
