Chapter 14: No
By Tuesday I had said no to the same two men a dozen times without saying a word to either of them.
Jubal had texted Sunday night and Monday morning, and I had read both and set the phone face down on the plank table.
Tobe's truck had sat at the bottom of the lane since Sunday, exactly where I had told him to stay.
On Monday evening he had walked up the lane and sat down on the porch step, with his back to my door.
He had not knocked, and I had not opened it.
On Tuesday afternoon I was splitting kindling behind the cabin, because a hatchet in my hand was the one thing that made sense.
Somebody coughed in the trees.
An old woman came out of the laurel on the ridge path with a steel thermos under one arm and a walking stick in the other hand.
She was seventy-nine, and she had caught half the pack in her two hands, me included.
"Do not help me," she said. "I've been climbing this hill since before you were a thought."
"Yes, ma'am."
