Chapter 20: Hutchinson Street
Odette's POV
He called at nine and said, "Come to the house. Please."
I left Lou with Mémère and the Contraption and drove to Crowley in forty minutes.
The house on Hutchinson Street still had the live oak out front and the porch swing she'd hated.
I had last stood on that porch with a basket of laundry.
He opened the door before I knocked.
He looked wrecked.
"Come in," he said.
I walked into my own kitchen.
The dish towel was folded over the oven handle, five years dry.
My reading glasses lay on the table where I'd left them.
A ring of keys hung from his hand, with a small silver crawfish on it.
"These are yours," Gabe said.
I took them.
They were cold and heavy, and they still fit my palm.
"Tell me," I said.
He told me standing up, in a flat voice, with his back against the refrigerator.
He left out nothing, not the drive to the clinic, not the white stick in our trash, not the toast.
