Chapter 16: Cassidy
Cassidy found me in the empty conference room on twenty-six, where the river lay flat and grey outside the glass.
She came in without knocking, in a pale pink coat she had buttoned wrong.
Her highlights needed doing, and she was not wearing any makeup.
I had never seen my sister without makeup after the age of fifteen.
"He left me," she said.
"I know. He told me."
"He told you before he told me where he was."
"He was waiting for the right time."
"Of course he was. Everyone around me waits for the right time."
She dropped her bag on the table.
"You want to say it. Go ahead. Say it."
"Say what?"
"That I deserve it."
I looked at her for a moment.
"I think you knew where the money came from," I said.
"Then you put the paper back and went to your bridal fitting."
"I was twenty-four."
"I was twenty-seven with a baby inside me. I wrote my first payroll on a credit card with Junie asleep on my shoulder."
