Chapter 24: The Hearing

The primary was the next day.

I voted at the church on Fourth Street with C asleep in a sling on my chest.

That night the results came in on Jens's kitchen radio, between a weather report and a polka.

Sandvik first. Thorsby second. The two of us, alone on the November ballot.

The drivers honked in a line down the block.

C slept through all of it.

I didn't sleep at all, because of a court date eight days away.

The hearing was in a small courtroom on the fourth floor of the county building, a hallway down from where I'd gotten divorced.

Wood paneling. A flag. A judge with reading glasses on a chain.

Karin sat at the first table in her charcoal suit with two lawyers from a firm in Minneapolis.

She'd brought a framed photo of the triplets.

I didn't know where she'd gotten it.

Then I did. The NICU had posted it on their wall, with my permission, for a fundraiser.

My lawyer and I sat at the second table.

Marit sat behind me in the first row, with her son asleep in a car seat at her feet.
