Chapter 7: The Blue Folder

Paula Winslow's office was above a dry cleaner, and she charged by the hour and said so before I sat down.

"Tell me about the day you got married," she said. "Everything that was signed."

"Nothing was signed except the certificate. Neil did the rest."

"Think again."

I looked at her desk, at the neat pile of statements I had carried in.

Then I saw the lake house, and the rented chairs, and Neil's hand on my back.

"A folder," I said slowly. "A blue one. After the vows, Neil said the photographer needed releases. There were colored tabs where I was supposed to sign."

"How many?"

"I don't know. Six, maybe eight. I signed them against the railing with the bouquet under my arm."

Paula took off her glasses and set them on the blotter.

"The credit line on that account was approved a few weeks after your wedding," she said.

"It lists a guarantee signed by you. If it's real, you owe the forty-one thousand."

"I never read it."

"I believe you. A guarantee signed on pages you were told were something else can be undone."

She tapped the desk. "But I need the pages themselves, and Neil has them."

"He'll never give them to me."

"No." She put her glasses back on. "Then you'll have to make him want to."
