Chapter 22: Amends
Forty people looked at the man against the back wall.
A woman in pearls pulled her chair a little closer to the table.
Leland didn't move.
He stood with his hands in his coat pockets and looked at the detective.
"I'll answer anything you ask," he said. "Tonight. Tomorrow. On the record."
The detective studied him.
"You're the husband."
"I'm the husband."
"You're the one who sat on a match for six months."
The room went very quiet.
"Yes," Leland said.
He didn't look at me when he said it.
"Yes. I did that."
They took Porter out first.
Then Allegra, white and shaking, because she wanted to talk and the detective wanted her to do it somewhere with a tape running.
Leland went with them on his own feet.
He passed me at the door.
He didn't touch me.
I'd told him not to speak, and he didn't.
I waited in the precinct lobby for three hours on a plastic chair.
Nobody had asked me to.
He came out at one in the morning, grey under the bruise, with his coat over his arm.
